Gifted and Talented Program Referral Window Now OPEN
Pleasant Hill Families,
The AISD referral window for gifted and talented testing is open from August 19-October 17. For more information, check out the referral flyer from the Advanced Academics team:
If you would like your child to be assessed for GT Services, please fill out the GT Referral Form.
Student screening will begin in mid-October and parents/caregivers will be notified with the results. GT Services will begin in January for newly-identified GT students. The referral form can be found inside the above linked flyer, or here.
NOTE: ALL 2nd graders will automatically be screened in early October, so there is no referral needed for 2nd graders. More information about this process can be found here: 2nd Grade Screener and 2nd Grade Screener - Spanish.
The Pleasant Hill GT Advocate is Dee Nic Ruairi, the librarian. Please reach out to her at deirdre.nicruairi@austinisd.org.
