  2. Referrals and Eligibilityfor the Horizons Program Students are referred for possible Horizons testing in several ways: *Horizons referrals may be automatic as a result of grade level standardized testing, such as the COGAT and ITBS in 3rd grade. *Referrals may also come from any individual with knowledge of the student's abilities. This may include teachers, parents, peers, or self. *Transfer students from out of state must have official documentation of former gifted program eligibility before they will be automatically referred to the Gifted Evaluation Team for consideration. Once a child is referred, a GET (Gifted Eligibility Team) will meet to determine if testing is appropriate.  If testing is recommended by the team, students must then qualify in three of the four areas: Mental Ability Achievement Creativity Motivation Results must yield at least one qualifying score in order to proceed to the next test.

  3. This year I am excited about the option of using BYOT, or Bring Your Own Technology, in the classroom. A BYOT form MUST be signed giving prior authorization for your child to bring the item to class. I encourage you to have a carrying case for safely transporting the device and keeping it from being noticed by others. The school is not responsible for any devices that are lost, damaged, stolen, etc. It will only be used for educational purpose. Those that do not follow the guidelines or misuse items will be asked not to bring the device back to class. BYOT FORM
