Gifted & Talented Complaint Policy 

 

Teacher/Parent

Appeal/Complaint Process

 

The definition of “Gifted and Talented students”  according to the National Association for Gifted Children is:

“Students with gifts and talents perform - or have the capability to perform - at higher levels compared to others of the same age, experience, and environment in one or more domains. They require modification(s) to their educational experience(s) to learn and realize their potential.”

We recognize the parents/teachers play a vital role in the identification process. In certain circumstances, a child who is not identified through our matrix but Parent/ Guardians/teachers believe the child is performing well above grade level or is demonstrating exceptional characteristics or talents may submit an appeal letter.  These appeal requests will take place once a year.  They must be submitted by September 30 of the current academic year.  Parents/teachers will be notified by email within 15 working days of the committee’s selection decision.

 

If parents  would like to appeal the initial decision, their child will be able to take the SAGES3 as another level of assessment.

 

Parents should reach out to Ms. Nancy Pearson npearson@brielleschool.org with the appeal request.
