New to District Testing

Welcome to McKinney ISD!  Thank you for choosing our district as your home!

You are wondering:  Are GT students new to MISD automatically placed in ALPHA?

Due to  programs and opportunities for gifted and talented students vary so much, even within the state of Texas, all new students must be reviewed and placed in ALPHA by the campus GT committee before enrollment in GT classes. To be reviewed for placement, please give the school counselor, administrator, GT teacher, or GT Specialist:

• A signed, completed Referral form (Click Here) which gives permission for testing (if needed) and

• A signed, completed Request for GT Records form (Click Here) with all the information necessary to secure your child’s GT records from the previous district.

This process typically takes 4-6 weeks. If the student is enrolled at the beginning of the school year or over the summer, the process (4-6 weeks) will start at the beginning of the academic year.
