Identification at Pine Valley
Formal gifted identification begins in third grade. The AIG program has developed a timeline for gifted identifications at Pine Valley with in-put from classroom teachers, parents and administrators.
**NOTE** The deadline for students to be nominated AND be met on for the 2025-2026 school year is January 21, 2026. Once that deadline has passed, students nominated after that date will have data collected by their current teacher. The data will include classroom observations, advanced work samples and performance data including county and state test scores. This documentation will be placed in a nomination folder and given to your child's teacher next year to continue the process. In the fall, the Match Team will meet to evaluate the data.
