Deadline: Friday, June 10th, 2022
Parents / Guardians of Teaneck Public School students that feel their child may qualify for extended educational services through the Teaneck Academically Gifted Program because their child is performing well above grade level or demonstrating exceptional strengths or talents are encouraged to complete and submit the following Parent / Guardian Referral.
Before filling the form, please familiarize yourself with the information on this webpage in reference to
What defines a student as gifted?
When reviewing the list of characteristics, keep in mind that true Gifted Students exhibit the learning, motivation, creativity, and leadership characteristics Mostly and / or Virtually All of the Time. Any anecdotal information or thoughts would also be appreciated.
Referred students will be reviewed in June along with the other Identification Metrics for the 2022-2023 school year.
Please keep in mind that a referral serves as a means to initiate a more detailed examination of data available for that child and does not guarantee qualification into the program. This referral is optional and one of multiple measures the district uses to identify students who may be in need of advanced programming. If you do not refer your student, they may still be identified through other screening metrics.
