North East has two unique programs for gifted elementary students, Gifted and Talented K-2 and Gifted and Talented 3-5.  Gifted and Talented K-2, or G/T K-2, is for students in Kindergarten through Second grade who have been identified as having potential for high academic ability.  Gifted and Talented 3-5, or G/T 3-5, is for 3^rd-5^th grade students who have been identified as intellectually and academically gifted.

Students with high grades and test scores, or proof of qualification from another district’s gifted program, may be nominated for testing for the G/T program.  Nominations may be made by teachers, parents, counselors or administrative personnel, and must be sent in writing to the campus G/T teacher.  Students who are nominated for testing should be consistently scoring in the high 90’s in standardized tests and grades.  Nominations should be made prior to the appropriate testing period.
