Dear Families,
We hope you are well. Spring referrals for evaluation for Hanover County Public Schools Gifted Education will be accepted until Friday, January 31 at 4 p.m.
For a student to be considered for the Gifted Program, they must first be referred for evaluation. A referral can be initiated by:
- a parent
- a teacher
- a peer
- a community member
- by the student
Elementary School (K-5) Referrals
1. Speak to your child’s classroom teacher. Classroom teachers should be part of the communication process as they must submit work products.
2. After discussing the referral with the classroom teacher, please complete a gifted referral in the PowerSchool Parent Portal (details below).
Middle School (6-8) Referrals
Students identified as gifted learners in elementary school
do not need to be re-screened for middle school. To refer your middle school child, please complete a gifted referral in the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
High School (9-12) Referrals
Students identified as gifted learners in elementary or middle school
do not need to be re-screened for high school. To refer your high school child, please send an email to Andrea Herndon, Coordinator of Gifted Education & Advanced Studies,
