Parent and teacher nominations for the Gifted and Talented Program in Whitehouse ISD are now underway. This is a special program for students who demonstrate a combination of above average academic achievement or ability, commitment to a task, and creative ability. Any parent that would like to nominate their child for this program because he/she displays these characteristics should contact the child’s teacher or counselor. More information will be needed to determine his/her educational needs. We will request permission to administer ability and achievement. Parents will also have a questionnaire to complete. All paperwork will be due by January 27. We are excited to get the kindergarten program underway!
