GT Nominations
STOCKDALE- Stockdale ISD includes a Gifted and Talented program for students with a potential to excel in general intellectual ability. The Gifted and Talented Nomination and Screening Committee will begin the nomination and screening process for students in grades 1-11 on January 3, 2017. The nominations period will be two weeks starting on January 3, 2017 and ending January 17, 2017 at 12:00 PM. After nominations have been placed, permission slips for testing will be sent home and testing will begin.
Approximately 3 -5% of students enrolled will qualify for inclusion in this program. A student may be nominated to the Gifted and Talented program in a variety of ways. A student may be nominated for the program by teachers, counselors, parents, or other interested persons. Once a student is nominated for the program, a variety of information is gathered on each student. No single test score or nomination will qualify a child for the program.
Once all the information is gathered, a Selection Committee meets to determine which students qualify for the program. The program focuses on developing higher level thinking skills, creative thinking skills, and research skills with an emphasis in the four core areas of instruction. If an individual wishes to nominate a student for this program, he/she may come by the student’s school and request the necessary nomination form. All forms must be completed and returned to the school by 12:00 PM on January 17, 2017. If a person wishing to nominate a student is unable to come to the school, he/she may call the school and the form will be sent. The form also can be accessed on the Stockdale ISD web site at
