Gifted: Referral Process

Equity

Efforts must be made to identify students among all populations and socioeconomic groups as well as students with disabilities and students who are Limited English Proficient (LEP).

Second Grade Child Find

All second grade students will be observed as potential gifted referrals using a gifted behavior checklist provided by the State Department of Education.

Standard Referral

A student may be referred for consideration for gifted services by teachers, counselors, administrators, parents or guardians, peers, self, and other individuals with knowledge of the student’s abilities.

Standard referrals may occur at any time for students six years of age and older.

Parents must be informed when students are referred.
