Gifted and Talented Call for Nominations

When

8/22/2022 – 9/5/2022

Each year schools in St. Vrain Valley School District complete a process to identify
students in grades K-12 who demonstrate exceptional ability or performance in one or
more academic areas and may therefore qualify for Gifted/Talented educational services.
These students perform at least two years above grade level in their strength area(s) and
require additional academic challenges in order to support their continued educational
growth and progress. In addition, they usually demonstrate characteristics of unique
creativity and high motivation in their strength areas.

The search for gifted/talented students begins with an opportunity for parents and/or
teachers to refer students for review. Once referrals are received, a team of educators
review student state testing data, standardized test scores, rating scales and other school
data to determine student eligibility.

If you believe that your child qualifies and would benefit from district Gifted/Talented
services, please pick up a nomination form from your school office, or contact your
school’s Gifted/Talented resource teacher, Mrs. Benz ([email protected])
