"Universal Review in Phase One During fall 2019, the district will continue the efforts underway in elementary and middle schools to identify the many highly able learners in everyschool and will conduct a universal review of Grade 8 students. Multiple measures, including student performance data; information about course enrollment; and student, parent/guardian, and teacher surveys will be analyzed to determine interests and mindset and  to  predict  students  likely  to  be  successful  in  honors  and  advanced  courses  as  early  as  Grade  9. The  results  will  be  provided  to  parents/guardians  to  assist  them  in  making  decisions  about  their students’ course registration at the local school and about applying to regional programs. The results of the review also will be provided to schools to assist their efforts to enroll students in appropriate courses  and  levels,and  to  help  them  communicate  withparents/guardians  about available options. All high schools will be encouraged to group students with their academic peers and to include students who show promise through mindset or other measures.  "

Last year, the High School application program customized letter showed up under documents and included descriptions of programs and links for applications. But they were separate links for each program. My understanding is that this year there will be one application only, and you choose all the things you are interested in. It is not clear if they already did the Universal Review and if that will appear in the High School Application information. We will just have to wait until people with 8th graders get the letter and share here what it includes.[/quote]
