Testing for Gifted Services in the Elementary level is typically conducted in three windows.

Students may be referred for testing by parents, teachers, other school sources, and even by self-referral. Contact your school's Gifted Resource Teacher for a referral form.  Once a referral is received, a parent packet containing a Consent Form for Testing and a Parent Survey will be sent home.  The forms should be returned by the due date so that testing may begin.  The Gifted Resource Teacher has up to ninety (90) school days for the testing process to be completed.

 Once all of the assessments have been scored and the data collected from the teacher, the Identification/Placement Committee convenes to make a determination on eligibility for gifted services.  Parents will receive written notification of the committee's decision.  If the child is placed for services, a permission form that needs to be signed and returned will be included with the letter.  If the child is not placed, parents have the option to meet with the Gifted Resource Teacher to discuss the profile information.
