** Once you request testing for services for a student, we must receive permission to evaluate from the parent(s) or guardian before the identification process can begin. We may ask for your assistance, at some point, in getting that permission if we are unable.
We take Requests year round. The initial referral window opens on the first day of school and remains open until September 30. Parents, teachers, administrators, and counselors may refer students who are not receiving Gifted and Talented services for evaluation if they believe the student exhibits characteristics indicating giftedness. Students may also refer themselves. Testing will follow once permission to test forms have been received from the student's parent/guardian.
A second referral window will be available starting October 1 and will go through the end of the fall semester for any student who enrolls in the District after the closing of the initial fall nomination window or for those who the teacher becomes aware of that they feel exhibits characteristics that could lead to giftedness. Testing of these students will begin the first two weeks of January.
A third testing window begins in January and goes throughout April. Any nominations received in May will be tested as time allows, but may be moved to the first testing window of the next school year.
