AIG Nomination, Evaluation, and Identification Process
If you would like to nominate your child for AIG, you may do so at any time of the school year. Simply contact the AIG Teacher to submit the nomination. The School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBC-GE) reviews formal and informal indicators for all nominations and determines which students should be referred for additional assessment. Students referred for evaluation in grades 4-12 will be assessed using the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) and the Iowa Assessments. These tests will be administered in a group setting twice yearly, during established testing windows.
For more information about AIG identification, including specific criteria, please download the AIG Parent Guide, available at the bottom of this page.
For 2020-2021, nomination deadlines have not yet been set. Please feel free to submit a nomination at any time. Once testing windows have been determined, you will receive further information.
For 2019-2020, students must be nominated by 10/04/19 to be tested during the fall window, and by 01/10/20 to be tested during the spring window. Nominations received AFTER 1/10/20 will be considered during the fall window of 2020-2021.
