Nomination Information
Parents, guardians, teachers, counselors, and administrators can nominate students for the GT Assessment Process by completing a GT Referral Form in the fall semester.
Course Selection for GT Students
Students identified as gifted and talented are expected to enroll in advanced-level courses in their area of strength.
-
If a student does not register for an advanced-level course in their identified area of talent, the parent/guardian must sign a Parent Notice identifying a change in their student's GT status to one of the following:
-
Furlough – for the first year, the student does not enroll in an advanced course, or
-
Exit – if the student does not enroll in an advanced course for a second year in that area.
