Fort Bend Independent School District

Gifted & Talented Program

2016-2017 Referral for Testing Form

 

The Gifted & Talented Program is designed to meet the unique educational needs of academically gifted students.  These students perform or have the potential to perform at a remarkably high level, beyond the performance of their peers.  Approximately 3-5% of the population is gifted.  Many students are high achievers but are not gifted.  High achievers make good grades, do very well on the STAAR test, and work hard in school.  These students’ needs for academic challenge can be met in the regular classroom, rather than through the GT program.

*Parents always have the right to remove their identified GT children from the GT program.  Signing above gives us permission to schedule your child (if identified as needing GT services by the selection committee) into a GT cluster with a GT trained teacher (2017-2018 school year), but you may change your mind at any time.
