GIFTED PROGRAM SEEKING REFERRALS

The Greenwood Public Schools Gifted Program is seeking referrals of students who may qualify as gifted. Students referred for possible program placement should demonstrate above average intellectual ability, creativity, and task commitment. The gifted program provides additional challenges for those students who demonstrate a need for such additional challenges. Any student currently in grades 2-11 may be referred. Please email the name and grade level of any student you would like to be considered for the program by Thursday, April 30 to either Rick Clow at rick.clow@greenwoodk12.com or Hilary Huneycutt at hilary.huneycutt@ greenwoodk12.com or send a note requesting that the student be considered for the gifted program to the student’s teacher.

Once parental consent is received, evaluations of referred students will begin in May, but students and parents will not be notified of the placement committee’s decision until the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year.
