My child was identified and is going into a new school. Will we have to go through the process again - No, students maintain their identification from school to school in DPS.

An identification also transfers to any district in Colorado - this is known as “portability.” 

What happens with students transitioning from elementary to middle school and middle school to high school? The GT department has procedures to support students transitioning from one school level to the next. This supports information sharing between the GT staff to make the move as smooth as possible for your child. 

Below are a few examples to give you an idea of questions that may be helpful to ask.

How does your school meet the academic needs of advanced/gifted students - in math, language arts, etc.?

What supports are in place at your school that respond to gifted students' social/emotional needs?

What unique programs does your school offer to help gifted students explore their interests?

What is the best way to find information about your school? Who should parents reach out to should they have specific questions?
