George Cullender Kindergarten

Dear Parents:

January is the month we take referrals for G. T. testing. If you would like to have your child tested for the G. T. program, it would be very helpful if you would talk with your child’s teacher and see if she sees these traits and indicators in the classroom as well. Together with the teacher’s input and observations, parent input and information, along with the “Differentiation” check list, we should be able to decide if your child is ready to be tested for the G. T. program. Please read over the “Differentiation” list and if you have any questions feel free to call and discuss with me.

Thank you so much for helping the testing process to be more efficient and expeditious.

Sincerely,

Bonnie Benad, Counselor
