Upon nomination, data will be collected regarding the student, including rating scales, ISIP/ISAT test scores, and any other artifacts. Students will be prescreened based on this information for further testing.

Students who are new to the Jerome School District will be tested using the CogAT in October during regular school hours. Students returning to the Jerome School District will take the same test in March. Once testing is complete, the GATE committee will meet to review all data collected on each student to determine placement into the gifted and talented program. If a student is placed into gifted talented, services will begin immediately.
