G/T Referral Process


  • How do I Decide to Refer? 
    Observe your child 
    Talk to your child’s teacher 
    Think about common descriptors of gifted children 
    – Quick grasp of concepts 
    – Unusually good memory 
    – Curiosity 
    – Creativity 
    – Sensitivity 
    – Risk-taking 
    – Task commitment
     
    If your child or student has these traits then you may refer them to be observed and possibly tested for G/T services by completing the form linked below:
