[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Poster here.  I just returned the GT questionnaire for my 2nd grader today.  When/how does the GT process start?  I don't know if it is right for my DD, but I am wondering if getting her into GT will help her focus and concentration given our current school situation.

In second grade all MCPS kids are screened and roughly half are identified as "GT".   In many schools, well over half are identified as "GT".  That entitles you to apply for the GT center in third grade although you can still apply even if they are not identified as "GT".  The application is due in early November in third grade.  MCPS usually hosts an information meeting for parents in October.  The application is very short and simple to fill out.  Children who apply will take a test in school in January.  They consider these test scores and teacher recs.  there are enough spots to accommodate 2-3% of 4th and 5th graders in the Highly Gifted Centers.  In April they send acceptance letters to successful applicants.  They also have a waiting list.  Hope that helps[/quote]
