 If you suspect that your child may be gifted, first consider the following steps:

2.)  Contact your child's guidance counselor to discuss your concerns

To have your child evaluated for gifted education, please provide a written request to the Director of Special Education, stating your reasons for the request. 

If your child is gifted and needs specially designed instruction, a program will be designed and carried out.  

Parents are further encouraged to contact the Director of Special Education  948-2664, to review any specific questions or concerns with the process, referrals, evaluations, placements, or service delivery.
