MCPS has a Gifted and Talented program that provides extra enrichment and challenge to creative or advanced thinkers. 3rd and 4th grade students miss either math, science, or social studies to attend their GT class for 90 minutes per week, and they must make up all work missed in their regular classes. If you would like to have your student tested to find out if they are eligible for this program, please complete this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDF8WE1CCrAWb33weoTdLBVg1IInVynDsvjTql_YYclpXO4w/viewform
If the form is completed by Friday, September 20, the student may be tested for GT this fall, with the possibility of starting GT services in January 2025. If the form is completed later than that, the student may be tested in spring 2025, with the possibility of starting services in fall 2025. For questions, please contact Sara Ridgell at Baldwin Elementary (sridgell@mcpsva.org ) or Karima Wesselhoft at Central Office (kwesselhoft@mcpsva.org).
