Academic Program Referral
Administrators, parents, teachers, and students may refer students for screening for the gifted program. Click here for the Request for Academic Screening form.
Forms are also available at all schools. Initial screening will take place during the Fall of each school year. Because the screening process is multi-faceted and some students may require additional testing in the winter and spring, final results may not be available until May or later. Parents will be notified of screening results as soon as the process is complete.
All second grade students are screened through census testing that takes place in late October. Parents will receive results from the school in January. Only those second grade students who have met the eligibility requirements will be notified by the district.
