Every year, MSD screens our 2nd graders for identification for Talented and Gifted (TAG) services. We recognize that students who qualify to receive these services may need acceleration and/or enrichment opportunities beyond the regular curriculum.

We will be testing all of our 2nd graders as well as 3rd graders who have not been previously tested for TAG on October 25th from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at our school building, located at 35 S. Bartlett in Medford. The assessment usually takes about 30 minutes to complete. So please bring your child any time between 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Parents will be notified of the results within a week of the student completing the test.

Contact Sallie Johnson for additional information at sallie.johnson@medford.k12.or.us
