Gifted and Talented Services

Gifted and Talented in PNGISD

Rigorous learning opportunities exist in all grade levels for students in the Gifted and Talented program. The goal is to provide resources that engage and develop GT students who are not only academically successful, but also the future problem solvers of tomorrow.

Identification and Referrals

The PNGISD Gifted and Talented Department accepts referrals for students in grades K-12 throughout the school year. Referrals are accepted from teachers, students, administrators, counselors, or parents/guardians.  The referral must be submitted via the link found on this webpage.

Students may be evaluated annually, but only once in either the fall or spring.

Referral Deadlines:

Fall Evaluations - October 18, 2024

Spring Evaluations - February 21, 2025

Services

Gifted services are designed for students who demonstrate significantly above-average achievement or potential in areas of general intellectual ability, specific subject matter aptitude, and creative/productive thinking skills. For a written description of services provided at each campus, please refer to the PNGISD Gifted and Talented Program Guide. For more information, please contact your child's campus counselor.
