Is your 4-year-old gifted? Talented? If so, now is the time to start thinking about having him or her tested for the public school gifted and talented programs. This week the Department of Education posted the admissions timeline, as well as an updated list of schools that currently have G&T programs.
Test information and parent handbooks for incoming kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-graders will be online as of Oct. 7, according to the DOE. Materials will be available in elementary schools the week of Oct. 13. You must register for the test by Nov. 7. There is a different process for children in older grades.
The DOE will hold information sessions to explain G&T programs and the admissions process in each borough; the first is in the Bronx on Oct. 14, and the last will be in Manhattan on Oct. 22. See the DOE's website for details.
