The STAAR testing dates have been set for Spring Testing. Please do your best to plan appointments around your child's testing dates. Data shows that students test better when they test on regularly scheduled testing days as opposed to make-up testing days. We know that illness can come at anytime, and we would never want a student to come to school sick to test, but if all non-emergency/illness appointments can be scheduled around testing that would be appreciated.
Parents, Guardians, Students, and Community Members:
Next Monday, January 27 at 5:00 PM we are hosting our first parent/student panel of the spring semester. This is a time for you to ask questions, share ideas, and have an open dialogue with the Water Valley ISD administrative team consisting of Dr. Wheeler, Mr. Fulton, and Mrs. Colwell.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
If you would like to nominate your child to be tested for Gifted and Talented, please fill out the google form by 1/30/2025. Additional forms will be sent home with your child. Once nominated the following are used for identification:
Multiple sources are used for Kindergarten-Grade 5 GT identification including:
Parent Information Survey
Teacher Survey
Grade appropriate achievement test
Grade appropriate ability test
Student Profile
Please look over the attached description of a "bright/honors" child vs. a "gifted child" before filling out the google form. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Colwell, WVISD K-12 counselor. christina.colwell@wvisd.net
