Are students automatically nominated for the AIG identification process?  

No.  Students are not automatically referred for the AIG identification process.  Parents and/or teachers have to nominate a student to be considered for the process.  Nominated students should be showing high potential in their classroom.  This nomination must be received via the Google Form linked at the bottom of this page.  

What happens after I nominate my student for the AIG identification process? 

After the nomination window closes a School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBCGE) meeting us scheduled to discuss all nominations.  At this meeting all nominations are discussed and the decision about whether testing is appropriate is made by the committee for each nominee.  A nomination does not guarantee testing.  That decision is made by the committee.  The committee considers all relevant student data when making this decision.  The SBCGE committee is made up of classroom teachers, administration, and the AIG teachers.  After that meeting, all testing materials are ordered and prepared individually for each student that will be testing.  A testing schedule is then set up.  All parents are informed of the committee's decision for their student.
