Is your child highly curious, beyond the group, an inventor, keenly observant, highly creative, or ask high level questions? Does your child discuss in detail and elaborate, show strong feelings and opinions, initiate projects, construct abstractions, or thrive on complexity? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then he or she may indeed be a gifted learner.

The Karnes City ISD Gifted & Talented Program serves students in first thru fifth grades in the core curriculum areas. The identification procedures for this program always take place in the spring semester of each year for the following school year. One part of the identification process includes giving parents/guardians the opportunity to nominate their child as a possible candidate for this special program.

The nomination period began Wednesday, March 6 and will end on Friday, March 22. If you feel your child should be considered for the program, please pick up a nomination form from the elementary office. If you are unable to pick up the form in person, you may send a written request to your child’s teacher. Please complete all forms and return them to the office no later than Friday March 22.

After nominations are received, a variety of tests will be administered and data collected to determine whether your child qualifies for the program. Parents/ guardians will then receive a notification letter by mail just prior to the beginning of the fall semester.

If you have any questions, please call Mrs. Homeyer (ext. 563).
