- Anyone with reason to believe that a child is intellectually gifted
2nd Grade Mass Screening
Second grade is a critical year for identifying gifted students, so please help us get as many mass screening permission slips back as possible. Refer any students that you think were missed in first grade or who are new to AAE and show signs of giftedness.
