Suffolk Public Schools Blog

As we start our school year virtually, we want to provide information on our gifted referral and screening process for the 2020-21 school year. Suffolk Public Schools is currently focusing on testing students who were referred for gifted services just before the school closures in March. Parents of students who were referred for services last spring will be contacted by their school’s gifted resource teacher to schedule a one-on-one appointment for testing.

During the spring of 2020 we were scheduled to screen all second graders to determine their need for gifted services. Due to the Covid-related school closures, we were not able to screen those students. We will screen those students this year; however, we are not able to set a schedule for that screening until we have a firm plan for when students will return for face-to-face instruction (or a hybrid of face-to-face and virtual instruction). More information regarding the screening of current third graders will be posted once that is determined. We plan on screening this year’s second graders during the spring as we normally would.

Our open referral period for students grades 4-7 will occur in in the spring starting in March. More information about that process will be posted in February. If you have any questions regarding our gifted services, please contact Stuart Jones at stuartjones@spsk12.net, or 757-925-6750, ext. 668602.
