Referral Process

 

The four steps in the referral process are:

1. Nomination of students as possible candidates for formal evaluation (Nominations will be made during fall, winter, and/spring referral windows or as a result of district wide testing.)

 

Fall Referral Window- October 3-14

Winter Referral Window- January 17-31

Spring Referral Window- May 1-12 (only new students)

 

 

 

2. Review of parent/teacher nominations by eligibility team to determine if referral for formal evaluation is warranted OR review by designated professionals for automatic referrals

3. Identification by formal evaluation of students who meet the state criteria for placement

4. Generation of information about the academic and/or creative strengths of students who have been formally evaluated for gifted identification
