Are transfer students considered eligible for the gifted program if they were already in another gifted program at their former school?
If the student's former school is in Georgia, eligibility transfers with the student. An eligibility report should be provided by the former school.
Out-of-State students would have the opportunity to meet Georgia's criteria for gifted services.

Is my elementary-age gifted child required to make up classroom work missed while participating in gifted classes?
The classroom teachers coordinate their lesson plans with the weekly gifted schedule; therefore, classroom make-up work is generally not required.

Why is my middle school gifted child not served in all subject areas?
Gifted students in middle school are scheduled in subject areas where they show strengths and meet criteria for the advanced classes available at that school.

Who in my child's school should I contact for further information regarding gifted services?
Each school has a designated gifted teacher who coordinates the services and scheduling for eligible students at that school.

Is there a local organization that supports gifted services?
The Carroll County Association for gifted Children is our local parent and teacher organization. Membership forms are available through your child's gifted teacher. The association provides information for parents and support for gifted classrooms. There is also a state organization called Georgia Association for Gifted Children at www.gagc.org.
