Primary Talent Pool - Parent Nomination
Please submit the following information about your child. A district gifted education committee will meet and (anonymously) process your child's nomination at one of three regularly scheduled committee meetings during the school year. The nomination packed will include both parent and teacher input. A minimum of three pieces of evidence are required. You will be notified of the committee's decision.
Reminder: students in the primary talent pool are not considered "gifted". Gifted identification takes place when students reach the 4th grade through a separate nomination process.
