The Alamance-Burlington School System is committed to discovering the appropriate curriculum services needed to meet the educational needs of your child. All second grade students will be assessed using the Naglieri General Abilities Test (NGAT) in the spring. This online assessment is an integrated series of tests that provide information on the level of development of general and specific cognitive abilities. Some students develop these skills more rapidly than their peers. The NGAT has been designed to evaluate individual differences and to assist teachers in adapting instruction to the individual needs of the students. It is also used to help determine eligibility for gifted services. More information is linked on our parent page and letters will be sent home.
To Mrs. Kimery (Teacher of the Year) & Mrs. Oldham (Classified Teacher of the Year) who were nominated and recognized by their colleagues for the 2022-2023 school year.
