Applying to select BPS Criteria Bases Schools require admissions testing, gifted screening, or auditions for the upcoming school year. Families must complete the appropriate application during the designated window and submit all required materials to the Central Registration Office. Current BPS elementary students will be tested during the school day at their home school unless a parent/guardian submits written notice to opt out, while students not currently enrolled in BPS must register for and attend testing at the designated location.
