2021 Red Ribbon Week – October 25-29

2021-22 Gifted Assessments

The parent referral window for gifted testing closes on October 29. If your child was not assessed for first look gifted eligibility last school year, you may refer your child for consideration of gifted eligibility assessments this school year. Students referred by a parent must also meet the additional criterion of a score at the 80th percentile or higher on the district-administered MAP Growth test in either Reading or Math. Please access the parent referral form HERE and submit one form for each child.

Surveillance Testing

Please consider being a part of the APS and Morris Brandon comprehensive testing strategy by participating in weekly surveillance testing. Last year we tested close to 400 students and staff a week, allowing us to get ahead of any outbreaks at school. This year the permission form has been made available online here. Please complete a new permission form if you would like your child to be tested during the 2021-2022 school year.
