          *Contact your homeroom teacher or Cindy Seder (cseder@wcpss.net) if you wish to nominate your student for AIG testing.*

Read below for the nomination and testing windows for grades 4 and 5.  If you would like your student considered for AIG testing they must first be nominated.  This parent nomination must be in writing.  It can be a handwritten note to their teacher or an email indicating you want them nominated.  All nominations must be received by 4:15 on the last day of the nomination window.  This allows us to prepare testing materials properly and schedule the needed testing sessions.  First, we must schedule a School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBCGE) meeting.  At this meeting all nominations are discussed and the decision about whether testing is appropriate is made by the committee for each nominee.  After that meeting, all testing materials are ordered and prepared individually for each student that will be testing.  A testing schedule is then set up and parent reminders are created. 

*Students can only be tested once during a full calendar year.  If your student was tested in the spring of 2019 they cannot best tested again until the spring of 2020.* 

*AIG testing for grades 4 and 5 only occurs two times a year.  Once in the fall and once in the spring.*

*There will be no nominations accepted after the last day of the nomination window.*
