Gifted Referral and Evaluation

Students who perform or show potential for performing at remarkably high levels of accomplishment may be referred and evaluated for the Gifted program. In order to evaluate a student, the school must obtain parental consent. Students can be identified as gifted in the following areas:

• Superior cognitive ability
• Specific academic ability
• Creative thinking ability
• Visual or performing arts ability

Referral link

1. Create a Referral for Gifted Identification.
2. Enter information about who is making the referral.
3. Select the area(s) for possible gifted identification.
4. Provide a reason for the referral.
5. Share the document with the parents.
6. The parents will either grant or deny their consent for evaluation.
7. Once the parents have responded and provided their signatures, fill out Date received by campus.

If the parent grants their consent, once the referral is completed:

• The student will be placed under eligibility review.

Evaluation link

1. Create a Gifted Profile.
2. For each specific area, indicate whether the student was screened, assessed, and identified. Provide the date of identification.
3. If the student is enrolled in a specific gifted program, click add Gifted Program Enrollment and give details.
4. Once all screenings/assessments are complete, at the top of the document select whether the student has been identified as gifted or not and complete the document.

If the student is identified as gifted, once the profile is completed:

If a student is not identified as gifted, they will not be unenrolled from the program because they could still potentially be an accelerated learner.
