Gifted and Talented Screening Referral Period Now Open!
The fall nomination window to have your child screened for the LTISD Discovery (Gifted & Talented) Program is currently open. Please review the GT Information Slideshow if you are interested in having your child evaluated for the program, as it addresses the most commonly asked questions about the screening process.
The deadline for nominations is Thursday, October 19th, 2023. You can find the nomination and permission google form here as well as on the district GT website. Once you complete the referral and permission form, your student will be signed up for the screening, and you will receive further information from your GT Coordinator once the dates are set and finalized.
If your child is a recent transfer student, has documentation of being identified as gifted and talented from another district, and is interested in retesting for entry into the HBMS Discovery GT classes, please reach out to Mrs. Reininger as soon as possible to expedite class entry.
If you have further questions, please reach out to the campus GT Coordinator, Laura Reininger at reiningerl@ltisdschools.org.
