What about grades 1 and 2?

Grades 1 and 2 receive enrichment. We meet with 1 or 2 groups for 4 sessions to meet the needs of kids who are advanced in an area. Teachers choose who gets pulled in for enrichment based on classroom work. Enrichment units include: ❖ Creativity Unit ❖ Multicultural Book Study ❖ Math Extension Unit

Can You get into SAIL after 2nd Grade?

YES!

We are constantly reviewing data and re-testing students. SAIL teachers go over all new student files. New students (grades 3-5) are given the NNAT as a screening test. Teacher input is valuable, and can be used to decide if a student could be pulled in for a unit, or is a candidate for further testing!
