Each year, the Enumclaw School District offers the opportunity for K-5 students to be assessed for Talented (Highly Capable) Services. This year’s test for students in second through fifth grades will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2014 from 9:00-12:00 at Southwood Elementary School.

Kindergarten and first grade assessment will take place during regular school days in March at each student’s school site. Testing days for each school for kindergarten and first graders will be communicated as needed with families who have referred their kindergarten or first graders for testing, once those dates have been determined.

Those interested in having their child assessed for services can obtain referral forms at the office of their child’s school beginning now. The deadline for submitting referrals for all students, K-5, will be January 24, 2014. Parents, teachers, or community members may refer students for testing. Parents must give their permission for a student to be tested.
