How Students Are Selected for the Program
Students may be referred for the G/T program by teachers, parents, or themselves. Referred students are assessed for placement on the following schedule:
- Grades 3–12: assessment occurs in April and May, and again in August.
- Grades K–2: assessment occurs in January and February. Program offerings begin by March 1 for identified kindergarten students.
- Students who transfer from other districts with a current G/T identification will be assessed as appropriate and may be placed immediately upon arrival if qualified
