Identification

The Viola School District is currently taking nominations for the Gifted and Talented program for students in grades 4th-12th. Placement is determined by a committee of teachers, counselors, and administrators, which is chaired by a certified GT Coordinator. Screening includes several forms of assessment, including input from students, teachers, and parents.

To nominate a student or for more information, you may contact the Gifted and Talented Coordinator, or follow the instructions in the orange box above.

Identification Process


1. A parent, teacher, or community member refers a
    student for testing. 
2. The student's parents/guardians express written
    permission for their child to be tested. 
3. The GT Coordinator administers a series of tests and
    collects data about the student. 

4. A Placement Committee consisting of the GT
    Coordinator, administrator, counselor, and teachers
    meet to determine placement. They evaluate student
​   






























    data without knowing who they are evaluating. ​
​5. The Placement Committee makes a decision about                    whether to place the student or watch them for
    potential re-testing in the future.

6. A letter is sent home to parents/guardians to inform              them of whether or not the child was placed in GT at that      time. The child can be retested in the future if another            referral is made.
