A student may be referred for gifted/talented screening by a teacher, counselor, parent, or administrator. A referral for gifted/talented screening is made by contacting the school counselor and requesting a Gifted/Talented Student Referral Form, which must be completed and submitted to the counselor. The screening/assessment process is offered once per school year and consists of three phases. Phase I, the screening phase, Phase II, the assessment phase, and Phase III, the identification phase. Specific requirements must be met in order to advance to Phase II, the assessment phase. Please note assessment opportunities are made available at least once per school year.
