How can I have my child tested for the GT program at FQMS?
Current students can be nominated for testing once a year in February for GT placement for the following school year. The students can be nominated for testing by either parents or teachers. If your child is nominated for testing by a teacher, you will be contacted and asked for permission for testing. The exact details about deadlines and testing dates are published in the school newsletter and in the electronic newsletter each year.Back to Top
What if my child is new to Howard County schools?
Students new to our system who transfer in at the beginning of the school year will have the opportunity to be tested right away. For students who come to us after the school year has begun, we will make special testing arrangements.Back to Top
