The wait is almost over for parents and kids who sweated out this year's round of Gifted and Talented (G&T) admissions. Placement letters are being sent out today, Department of Education spokesman Matthew Mittenthal confirmed.

The registration period for anyone offered a spot in a G&T program will run from Monday, June 7 to Friday, June 18.

Information about summer G&T testing for families new to New York City will be  is posted  in mid-June on the DOE's website. Summer G&T test administration is only open to children entering kindergarten or 1st grade in September, 2010 who moved to the city after the main testing period ended. A Request for Testing form must be submitted by June 25; testing will take place from July 6-16.

Applications for upper elementary grade G&T seats are not yet available on the DOE's website. Check there regularly for updated information.  According to the latest information, because standardized tests were administered late in the school year, test scores, which determine placement in G&T programs in the upper grades, will not be available until late in the summer. According to the DOE's website, applications will be available on the website in August; and placement offers  for "the few available seats" will be made in late August or early September.
