SALTA Testing: Apply Now to Test for Placement in Canyons’ Advanced Learning Program

Does your child thrive on complexity, master concepts with ease and show strong feelings and opinions – or even tend to be self-critical? It can be difficult to know if your child is a high achiever or exhibiting signs of being a gifted learner. Every child is unique and no two gifted children are alike.

But there are tests to assist parents in determining whether their children would benefit from placement in an educational setting, such as, Canyons School District’s SALTA magnet program for advanced learners–and now is the time to sign up for testing.

Students in kindergarten through the seventh grade can apply online to test into the SALTA program starting Monday, Sept. 9 through midnight on Thursday, Oct. 3. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept late applications. slide 1

Due to the time-intensive and rigorous nature of the process for determining a student’s fit for the program, parents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the testing requirements and characteristics of advanced learners (see below) before completing an application. 

Testing is a two-day commitment, and results will be distributed in late December.

Elementary-age applicants may choose between one of two possible dates per testing block and the following testing locations. More details as to the time and location of the testing will be made available through the application process.

Elementary Testing Block A: October 25 and 26
Sunrise
Sandy
Midvale Elementary
Canyon View Elementary

Elementary Testing Block B: November 8 and 9
Peruvian Park 
East Midvale
Copperview
Willow Springs

All middle school students are tested at Mt. Jordan Middle, with exception to Midvale Middle students who are tested at their school.

Middle School Testing Block: November 5 and 6
Midvale Middle
Mount Jordan Middle

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
