“HOLDS” Students • Four tasks will be administered throughout the school year: • Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies • Both the CT and myself will write a recommendation for students on HOLD • Parents are not asked to complete an additional recommendation form, but are welcome to submit any additional pertinent information • Students will be retested in the Spring of 2nd grade and the selection committee will review all of the data to determine if your child is eligible for gifted services • Once your child is identified as “gifted” he or she will always be eligible for gifted services in Virginia Beach • All students are tested again in 5th grade as part of the Kemps Landing application process and to identify additional students who may be eligible for gifted services
