If your student is moving outside of the district, the receiving school district would be able to help determine eligibility of programming options within their district. Please consider taking your students’ test scores to ensure a smooth transition of services. Caregivers can utilize the Student Records Request Form to request a copy of their students’ records.

The best way to prepare your child for testing is to help them have a good night sleep and a healthy breakfast. Studying for the test is not needed nor is it recommended.

Consider contacting your student’s school or PACE teacher if you are interested in volunteering. Tempe Parents for the Gifted (TPG) is an organization for parents of gifted students to connect with other adult caregivers of gifted individuals. They can be contacted by email at tpgarizona@gmail.com. Organizations like AAGT, NAGC, and SENG provide other ways for parents to get involved and gain resources.
