Advanced Learner Testing

September 19, 2018 by D. Bennett

Students in grades K-5, who would like to be considered for the Advanced Learning Center program, must participate this year in the assessments at our school. In addition, sixth graders interested in taking gifted classes in junior high/middle school must also be tested. It is not necessary for 6th graders registering for honors classes to be tested.

The testing for placement in Granite School District’s Advanced Learner Program is scheduled on October 22nd, 2018 at our school. This scheduled testing date is only for grades 3rd through 5th.

Grades K-2 will be scheduled after the holidays. It is not necessary to have your child tested every year; however, children who want to be considered for a placement in a third grade advance learner class must be tested in second grade.

Students in grades 1st – 5th that took the Advance Learner test last school year will not be able to be tested this school year, unless they were a one-year placement.

If you would like your child to participate in the Advance Learner testing (K-6), you must come to the office between Oct. 1 – 15th to obtain a parent permission to test form. No forms will be sent home with students. This form is due to the office by Monday October 15th, 2018. Late parent permission to test form will not be accepted after this date.
