Due to COVID-19 changing so much of school’s structure this year, HCPS is having one gifted identification referral window simultaneously for all grades K-5. The referral window will be open Monday, January 18, 2021 through Friday, January 29, 2021. This window is when teachers, parents, or even students themselves can refer a Chamberlayne student to be screened to see if they are eligible for Gifted services.
Want to know more? Check out some of the eligibility requirements as well as what Gifted services entail at https://henricoschools.us/gifted/. In addition, come to our virtual Family Info Session about Gifted Identification on Tuesday, January 19th from 6:00-7:00 pm. The Teams link for that meeting can be found on Mr. VanRossum’s Principal’s Message Page.
Ready to refer, or have a specific question? Send me (Ms. Holcomb) an email between 1/18 and 1/29 stating who you’d like to refer, whose class they’re in, and what area you think they might be gifted in (English/Language Arts, Math, or both). My email is LEHolcomb@henrico.k12.va.us.
