The GT program in NEISD is designed to meet the educational, social, and emotional needs of students performing 2-3 years above grade level academically. If you have questions about the decision to refer your child, please contact his or her campus GT teacher at the elementary level or counselor at the secondary level. Your child’s classroom teacher may also be a good resource for information about how your child is performing in class and whether or not a GT placement might benefit your child at this time.

At the elementary level, contact the campus GT teacher. At the secondary level, contact your child’s counselor.
