In accordance with state rules and regulations, a public announcement needs to be made to notify stakeholders of the GT nomination process. Announcements concerning nominations can be a post on the school’s web page.
The post can say something in the realm of:
It is time for Trumann's identification for Gifted and Talented referral for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. All students completing the third grade will be considered for placement, while students in grades 4-12th may be nominated for consideration for placement. Our district classifies Giftedness as “children and youth of high potential or ability, whose learning characteristics and educational needs require qualitatively differentiated educational experiences and/or services. Possessions of these talents and gifts, or potential for their development, will be evidenced through an interaction of above-average intellectual ability, task commitment and/or motivation, and creative ability..” Parents who feel their students fall within the area of giftedness can request a paper referral from their student's school office or use our Online GT Referral Form.
