Our vision is to teach and inspire students to contribute to society in meaningful and compassionate ways.  \nGifted & Talented Education (GATE)  \nThe state of Ohio defines a gifted student as one who performs or shows potential for performing at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared to others of their age, experience, or environment. For some, their learning needs are not a good match to the standard curriculum. The goal of identification is to locate these students so that, when necessary, adjustments can be made in their school program in order to match their needs.  \nIdentification  \nOhio Revised Code 3324 sets the Operating Standards for Gifted Education. In accordance with Ohio operating standards, Sylvania Schools conducts two whole grade gifted screening opportunities to identify students: 1. 2nd Grade Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) and Iowa (Reading & math) 2. 5th Grade CogAT and Iowa (Reading, math, science, and social studies) . A student must score in the 95th percentile or higher on a cognitive abilities test or a single subject achievement test to be identified as gifted. Students achieving a score in the 94th percentile are recommended for retesting.  \nRecommendations may also be made by parents, guardians, teachers, or the student him/herself. The district will identify students in grades K-12 in one or more of the following categories: superior cognitive ability, specific academic ability, creative thinking ability and visual or performing arts based on identification criteria established by the State of Ohio. Any student transferring into the district will be assessed within 90 days of the transfer at the request of the parent. We also have additional tests available to ensure that we meet the needs of underrepresented populations. To request testing or reconsideration, please contact Kathleen Pollock, Gifted Services Coordinator, at 419-824-8576 or [kpollock@sylvaniaschools.org](kpollock@sylvaniaschools.org. For a complete)[.

It may include both academic and affective goals. Each student receiving services must have a WEP that is developed in collaboration with a gifted intervention specialist. Parents will be provided with a copy of the WEP.  \nAppeals/Withdrawing  \nAppeals regarding gifted education practices or procedures should be directed to the GATE Coordinator or the Director of Teaching and Learning. For withdrawals, please complete the Withdrawal Request Form for Sylvania Gifted and Talented located on the Sylvania Schools website:  \n[http://sylvania.k12.oh.us/](http://sylvania.k12.oh.us/) .  \nContinuum of Services & Highly Qualified Staff  \nSylvania Schools provides gifted education services as defined by the state in grades 6-12. All gifted services are provided by highly qualified gifted specialists. During elementary school, gifted students have the opportunity to participate in enrichment activities led by a Gifted Intervention Specialist (GIS) . Identified students in 4th grade meet 30 minutes per week while 5th grade students meet 30 minutes twice a week with the GIS during core plus time.  \nAt the junior high level, Sylvania Schools provides opportunities for cognitively gifted students and students who are identified in reading and writing to participate in 6th grade GA","cbCais41QyHOUy3Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais41QyHOUy3Q","pdf",153932,"English","# Mission Statement\n# Gifted & Talented Education (GATE)\n# Identification\n## Screening opportunities and qualifying scores\n## Recommendations and transfer assessments\n# Written Education Plan\n# Appeals/Withdrawing\n# Continuum of Services & Highly Qualified Staff","[{\"question\":\"What gifted services are available across grade levels?\",\"answer\":\"Gifted education services are provided for grades 6–12 by highly qualified gifted specialists.
