The Fall gifted referral window is now open. All referrals are due by Thursday, October 1st. Please let your child's homeroom teacher know if you would like to refer your child, and they will send home a parent referral packet. Please look carefully over the gifted characteristics checklist and mark those characteristics that you see in your child. The Gifted Support Team looks carefully at these forms, as well as the evidence turned in by parents or teachers, to determine if a child should move forward in the testing process. Insufficient evidence could result in a decision by the Gifted Support Team to not move a student forward to testing. Please note that students who have been tested since the Spring 2018 will not be eligible for testing. Test scores are valid for 2 years.
On this page you will find resources related to the gifted program in Rockdale County. Below you will find links to information about referring students for the program, eligibility requirements, parent and teacher referral forms, and other documents that might be helpful. There are also links to forms that are required before a student begins attending Program Challenge.
3rd-5th grade gifted students attend classes at the Program Challenge Center located at Flat Shoals Elementary once a week, where they take rigorous courses designed to address their strengths and interests. Students come to the center by bus from 8:00 to 1:30.
1st and 2nd grade students are being served at Honey Creek on Mondays. They receive two segments (1hr 30min) of gifted service with Mrs. Parks, then receive gifted instruction in their homeroom the rest of the week.
