PES Spring GT Newsletter 2023

Hey Falcon Families!

 Here at Pfluger, our GT and STEM students have been working very hard on passion projects throughout this Spring Semester! We wanted to show off all of their hard work by presenting you with this Spring Newsletter! 

At Hays CISD, we've come up with a great way to describe our GT students using the acronym I.D.E.A.S.

I.D.E.A.S stands for the following:

Innovators

Designers

Engineers

Artists

Storytellers

Check out the different student chosen passion projects/products by clicking on each grade level's link in the bar on the top of this page! 

**ALSO! Don't forget! If you referred your student for GT testing during the April referral period, the testing will occur in June on the following dates:**

• Current Kindergarten and 1st Grade students will test on June 1st, 2nd, and 5th.

• Current 2nd through 11th grade students will test on June 1st and 2nd

**More Important Testing Information**

• May:  Parents will complete the Scales for Identifying Gifted Students.  The form will be sent home and should be completed and returned by May 15.

• June 21:  Parents will receive an email notifying them about the final determination of services.

Sincerely,
