Notification to Parents of the Screening and Referral Process for Gifted Students

The consideration for gifted services may be reported or automatic as defined by the GaDOE Resource Manual for Gifted Education Services. The Fulton County School System screens all students for eligibility for gifted services twice a year and uses a systematic approach to identify highly capable students who may qualify for gifted services. The gifted teacher routinely reviews available data to refer students for further assessment. Students meeting either the automatic screening OR the classroom screening criteria AND who have supporting data gathered from test history, products, and/or advanced content levels are referred for additional testing to determine gifted eligibility.

 Parents can request up to 5 Participated Remote days per semester to be used if your student completes the work that is missed when they are absent from school. To request a Participated Remote day, please click this link  (the link is also on our main RHS webpage). PR days should be used first before using medical/excused absences as the “PR absence” does not count against your student’s attendance record (that allows for 10 total PR days per school year). To maintain 95% attendance, students should miss no more than 8 absences per year (on top of 10 PR days)  

Please email Maria Shuford shufordm@fultonschools.org if your student is absent from school for excused reasons.
