Every year all students are considered for identification as Talented and Gifted in Beaverton School District. These services are usually provided within the classroom by the teacher(s). Academic, intellectual, behavioral, learning, and/or performance information is considered before a student is identified for TAG services. 

In accordance with OAR 581-022-1310, our District is also committed to efforts in the identification of students from ethnic minorities, students with disabilities, and students who are culturally different or economically disadvantaged. 

If you think your child might exhibit qualities that typically are used to describe giftedness, you may wish to complete the attached Parent Information Form. Because we believe that parents are excellent observers of their child’s potential, we invite your input into this nomination process. This parent form is based on the Kingore Observation Inventory that is used by classroom teachers in the Fall. Complete the characteristic sections that describe your child and provide supporting examples, whenever possible. While completing this form does not guarantee that your child will be tested, it will give our school’s TAG committee valuable additional information in the nomination process. 

Upon receipt, your completed form becomes part of the school’s identification process. Parents will be notified regarding testing eligibility, and the required permission form will be sent to parents prior to testing.
