Principals, please copy and paste this into your weekly communication to parents.
Parents, the annual window for Gifted and Talented (GT) referrals will open from December 1 - 31 for students currently in grades K-12. Please note this change from prior years - students in kindergarten and grade 1 may be referred for GT testing.
GT services are provided for identified students in grades K-12.
Students currently in kindergarten and grade 1 who are identified for GT services will begin services in February 2022.
Students currently in grades 2-11 who are identified for GT services will begin services in the fall of 2022.
The decision of the GT placement committee will be sent to parents via email the first week of February for students currently in kindergarten and grade 1 and the first week of June for students currently in grades 2-12.
