Deadline: Friday, March 28th, 2025
Families of Teaneck Public School students that feel their student may qualify for extended educational services because their student is demonstrating exceptional strengths / talents and is performing exceedingly well above grade level are encouraged to complete the above referral.
Before filling the form, please familiarize yourself with the information on this webpage in reference to:
What defines a student as gifted?
Referred students will be reviewed along with the other Identification Metrics for the 2025-2026 school year.
Please keep in mind that a referral serves as a means to initiate a more detailed examination of data available for that student and does not guarantee qualification for services. This referral is optional and one of multiple measures the district uses to identify students who may be in need of extended services. If you do not refer your student, they may still be identified through other screening metrics.
Special Note: In order to prevent the possibility of influence, coercion, and/ or bias through all aspects of the identification process, the district discourages families and teachers from discussing the completion of referrals on behalf of an individual student(s).
