Referral Deadlines

Testing for Gifted Services will be conducted in two windows.
Students may be referred for testing by parents, teachers, other school sources, and 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 from receipt of the Consent Form 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 decide 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. Parents can meet with the Gifted Resource Teacher to discuss the profile information for their child.

Referral Windows (requests for testing must be received by these dates)

  • Fall Window: September 18, 2024

  • Spring Window: January 8, 2025

Please contact your school's Gifted Resource Teacher before these dates if you want your child to be considered for the program.
