Bulloch Co Schools: Gifted Services Nominations Accepted August 1 – 23

Bulloch County Schools announced that the nomination window for Gifted Services is open August 1 through August 23, for children in second through eighth grades who are new to the school district:

This fall review provides a time for teachers, parents, guardians, students, or peers to nominate any newly enrolled student who meets the specifications for this window of consideration.

All nominations must be submitted to the QUEST facilitator at each elementary or middle school by August 23. For your convenience, an online nomination form is available for each elementary and middle school on the school district’s Gifted Services Website at www.bullochschools.org/gifted. Nominations received after the Fall 2024 nomination window closes may be nominated again for the Spring 2025 testing window.

After August 23, nominations are closed and each school’s eligibility team will review student data to determine if a formal evaluation for gifted services is required. A nomination does not guarantee a formal evaluation. Gifted Services are based on need. The review team must establish whether the evidence confirms the need for a formal evaluation.

If a student is to be evaluated, the child’s parents or guardians will receive a Permission to Test Form to sign and return to the school. This form is required before testing can begin.

Testing will begin after teams have taken time for the data review and the receipt of permission to test is received by the gifted teacher at the child’s home school.  The school district will conduct testing September 30 through October 25.
