Eligibility, Acceptance, and Enrollment
Nomination
The Garfield School District accepts nominations for the Gifted & Talented program throughout the school year. Teachers and parents are invited to complete the online form at the following link: https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPage.aspx?origin=OfficeDotCom&route=Start&lang=en-US#FormId=wl8OuA5oGEikD3pgzCJj2-lOcIcWFH9AletcTQZ0ZaJURE5aQzFZSlo3MFo2MDM1WU1PSEtRWk1FSi4u
Acceptance
Nominations initiate the review process which utilizes a board-approved matrix to determine eligibility. Multiple measures evaluate whether a student demonstrates gifted traits in one or more areas and requires instructional modifications through the G&T program. If a student meets the criteria for acceptance, a letter will be sent to the parent/guardian and the homeroom teacher.
Enrollment
Permission slips submitted by parents complete the enrollment process.
