GIFTED & TALENTED REFERRALS ARE NOW OPEN
Fall Testing Cycle
Students currently in 3rd grade or above may be referred for Gifted & Talented consideration. A referral begins the evaluation process and does not guarantee identification.
A student may benefit from referral when they learn quickly and make meaningful connections, think deeply, creatively, or in unusual ways, show advanced reasoning, curiosity, or problem-solving, or need greater depth, complexity, or academic challenge.
No special preparation is needed. Gifted & Talented identification is based on multiple measures.
IMPORTANT DATES
Teacher Referral Deadline: September 23, 2026
Parent Referral Deadline: September 25, 2026

Today (Monday, August 31), we are sending home information to help parents set up their Schoology Parent Account!
Schoology is our online platform where parents can view student assignments, grades, and teacher updates. We encourage parents to check Schoology regularly and turn on notifications to stay informed.
📌 Important: Schoology is for checking grades, assignments, and class information. It is not our platform for communicating directly with teachers. If you need to contact your child’s teacher, please use Rooms.
Be sure to check with your student for the Schoology information and Parent Access Code! 💻📚

Welcome Back!
As students and staff return to school for another year, let’s all do our part in keeping safety at the forefront of our minds at school, at home, and on the road.
· Watch for school buses. Slow down and never pass a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.
· Drive safely in school zones. Slow down, pay attention, and watch carefully for students, parents, crossing guards, and school staff.
· Stay alert. It only takes a few seconds of distraction to change a life forever.
· School safety starts when we leave our homes. It doesn’t just depend on what happens inside our school buildings.
Let’s work together to ensure every student and staff member arrives at school and returns home Safe and Sound.
The volume of traffic will increase this week. Please be patient as we work together getting back in the routine of drop off and pick up.
Welcome back, Wampus Cats!
We are SO excited to kick off the 2026–2027 school year! 🐾📚 We can’t wait to see our students back in the building and make this an amazing year at Carl Stuart!
📅 Be sure to check out our bell schedule so you know what to expect each day.
🔐 Lockers will be available for purchase through the first week of school for $5.
💻 Chromebook insurance is still available in the library for $20.
🚗 And be on the lookout for a drop-off video from Officer Slayton to make sure you know exactly how drop-off works at Carl Stuart!
Let’s have a GREAT first day! 🐾💙
