I have sent letters home to parents of seventh and eighth graders who are eligible for GT pull out this year. There may be a few more letters going home to 7th and 8th graders, once I receive state testing results in a week or two. In a few weeks, I'll begin the process of looking at information for our sixth graders. If you feel that your child is being overlooked, please feel free to email or call.
I also want to suggest that you read an article on my Parents' page about praise. Carol Dweck did a research study that shows that when students are praised for working hard, their achievement tends to increase, but when they are praised for being smart, their achievement actually decreases.
