KINDERGARTEN G/T REFERRALS 2019-2020
Kindergarten students may be referred by the parent(s), peers, teacher(s), other professional personnel, and/or themselves. Starting this year, there will be an online district testing portal. This portal will only be open during the assessment window(s) and will include parental permission to test, evaluate, and receive gifted program services. All kindergarten students will be screened and parents will be notified if referral for assessment is recommended based on the results of the screener. Parents of students who have been referred by individuals other than their parents will be contacted to complete the online referral form. No student may be denied access to the Humble ISD Gifted and Talented Program on the basis of race, creed, or handicapping conditions. Referrals should be completed in the online portal on the Advanced Academics website. The portal will be available until January 10. GT Online Referral Form
