Gifted and Talented Referral Process

Castleberry ISD accepts referrals for services in the Gifted and Talented Program annually. Eligible students must be currently enrolled in kindergarten through twelfth grade at CISD. Referrals may come from parents, teachers, administrators, counselors, or other interested persons. The person referring a student must complete a Gifted and Talented Referral Form for a student to be assessed and considered for the program services.

After assessment, if gifted and talented services are considered appropriate, the student will be placed in the Gifted and Talented Program during the spring semester, no later than March 1.
