DISCOVERY/GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM REFERRAL DEADLINE IS OCTOBER 10/19!
Attention LTISD Parents and Guardians,
The Discovery Program, otherwise known as Gifted and Talented, is now accepting parent referrals for GT Screening via this google form.
Transfer students, who were already identified as GT coming from their previous district, should submit their google form as soon as possible, as the transfer student screening will be set within 30 days of the first day of school. Parents should send proof of their child's selection/participation in the previous GT program directly to the campus GT coordinator.
Parents can submit referrals for screening up until the end of the first 9 weeks, by October 19, 2023. Students in Grades 1-12 will be tested during the 2nd 9 weeks of instruction. If the referral and permission forms are not submitted by the deadline, the student will have to wait until the next year's screening opportunity, as the spring screening session is only for students moving in new to the district after the fall testing window is closed.
Kindergarten students can be referred for GT testing beginning in January 2024. More details will be shared regarding this process at the end of the first semester.
The forms and further information about the program can be found here.
Once the request is submitted through the google form, the campus GT coordinator will contact parents via email after October 19th to share pertinent information.
You are also welcome to contact your campus GT coordinator at any time with questions. We look forward to serving students for another outstanding year in the Discovery program!
Thank you,
Amanda Prehn
