(without prior instruction) shall be offered each semester to students who are enrolled in the<br />
FW<strong>ISD</strong>. Exact dates and locations shall be published for each fall and spring semester testing<br />
cycle.<br />
Acceleration without Prior Instruction<br />
Note: ―No prior instruction‖ is defined as no formal instruction in the specific course content<br />
and/or grade to be skipped. This shall not preclude the taking of a test for acceleration<br />

covered by an earlier or previous course.<br />

her kindergarten child, the committee must convene and consider the parent request. Materials<br />
such as classroom work, standardized testing, psychologist’s recommendation or records from<br />
a previous kindergarten school setting may be considered for acceleration. No examination is<br />
required.<br />

or above on all four exams. (*Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies).<br />
