GT Identification

Each year schools in the St. Vrain Valley School District complete a process to identify students in grades K-12 who demonstrate exceptional ability or performance in one or more academic areas and may therefore quality for Gifted/Talented educational services.  These students perform at least two years above grade level in their strength areas.

 

The search for gifted/talented students begins with an opportunity for parents and/or teachers to refer students for review.  Once referrals are received, a team of educators review student state testing data to determine student eligibility.

 

If you believe that your child qualifies and would benefit from district Gifted/Talented services, please pick up a nomination form from Sue Riley at the front office.  Forms must be completed and returned to the school by Monday, September 25th.
