The window for parent referral of junior high students desiring to be screened for placement into KISD’s Gifted and Talented (G/T) program, for the 2009-2010 school year will open on December 1, 2008. Nomination forms will be available for pick up from the counselor’s office and must be returned by 2:30 p.m. January 16, 2009. Any student who has not been screened for G/T within this school year may be referred.

Current G/T students who are not being served in all four content areas (English/Reading, Math, Science, and/or Social Studies) may request screening for additional courses. Students requesting additional screening should pick up the “Request for Additional Screening” form in the counseling office. These forms will be due to the counselor’s office by 2:30 p.m. January 16, 2009.

If you have questions regarding G/T screening, please plan to attend the G/T Awareness Session on Tuesday, December 9 at 7:00 pm in the Education Support Complex, room 1200.
