January is Gifted Referral Month for Habersham County Schools. Individuals wishing to refer a student will need to complete a Gifted Program Referral Form and provide samples of student work that demonstrate high ability or creativity. A team of educators will review available student data and referral information to determine if formal evaluation for gifted services is warranted.
Habersham County Schools’ gifted services include enrichment studies for elementary students at the Discovery Center complemented in some elementary classrooms by cluster grouping service in appropriate content areas; advanced content provided through Honors courses in grades six through twelve; and Advanced Placement (AP) and dual enrollment courses for students who wish to pursue college-level studies in high school.
Referral forms may be accessed from the Gifted Program website found under Departments on the Habersham County Schools website (www.habershamschools.com). Forms may also be requested by email at [email protected] or by phone at 706-754-2110, Ext 128.
The deadline to submit referral forms is Tuesday, January 31.
