Testing and Identification Time Line for Students Attending LCSC
SAVE THE DATE: DECEMBER 14, 2012
Parents or guardians who would like their child considered for high ability services should submit a PARENT form of The Kingore Observation Inventory (KOI) for the appropriate level: Grades K-3, Grades 4-8, or High School NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 14, 2012. These forms are available on the website and at each school office. All decisions regarding placement for High Ability Services are made by a central selection committee using KOI data, and other artifacts and data.
All LCSC students take the OLSAT in grades K and 5. Students who are new to LCSC are given the OLSAT during their entry year. The committee also looks at ISTEP scores; NWEA scores in reading, language, and math; writing samples; and other data submitted by teachers and parents to determine eligibility, which is based on the need for services not ordinarily provided by the general education classroom teacher.
The Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities offers exciting Summer Adventure Programs for high ability students and adults! Spaces are limited and registration for most camps ends on May 30th. For more information or to sign up please visit www.bsu.edu/academy/summercamps!
