![Page 13: IROQUOIS RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL Gifted Program & Enrichment @ the Ridgemrpearce.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/4/9/57491703/grade_8... · 2018. 9. 1. · IROQUOIS RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL Grade 8 Parents](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022063016/5fd4ea63d5dd252269331795/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

▶ They may choose to be in some or all of the 4 clustered classes offered in grade 9
Placement in Clustered Classes for Students with an IEP (Gifted)
![Page 14: IROQUOIS RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL Gifted Program & Enrichment @ the Ridgemrpearce.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/4/9/57491703/grade_8... · 2018. 9. 1. · IROQUOIS RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL Grade 8 Parents](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022063016/5fd4ea63d5dd252269331795/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
▶ Highly Able students fill the classes according to marks, beginning with the student with the highest mark in each specific subject.
▶ Students can be invited into more than one class but in each case it depends on their marks for that subject.
Placement of Highly Able Students
![Page 15: IROQUOIS RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL Gifted Program & Enrichment @ the Ridgemrpearce.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/4/9/57491703/grade_8... · 2018. 9. 1. · IROQUOIS RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL Grade 8 Parents](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022063016/5fd4ea63d5dd252269331795/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
▶ February Report marks are used first and the invitation is dependent on the student maintaining a grade above the “cut off” by the end of the year.
▶ If they do not do so, another student with a
higher mark may be invited into the class and the original student moved to an academic class.
Placement of Highly Able Students
![Page 16: IROQUOIS RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL Gifted Program & Enrichment @ the Ridgemrpearce.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/4/9/57491703/grade_8... · 2018. 9. 1. · IROQUOIS RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL Grade 8 Parents](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022063016/5fd4ea63d5dd252269331795/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
▶ Invitations (a letter and/or phone call) are issued to the highly able student and parents, they may choose to accept or reject that invitation to join the clustered class(es).
▶ Once the classes are filled to approx. the same size as Academic classes in the same subject area, the class is “closed”.
Placement continued
