Dear Gifted
Coordinators and Teachers,
The 4th/5th Grade
Talent Search season is here! This program provides recognition, support and
encouragement for academically talented students across the country. 4th and
5th grade students may qualify by scoring at the 90th percentile or above on an
acceptable subtest of a grade-level achievement or approved state
criterion-referenced test, taken within the past two years. More information is
available at http://www.tip.duke.edu/talent_searches/grades_4-5/.
If your school has not
yet received registration materials, or if you need more, please go to http://www.tip.duke.edu/forms/SchoolUpdateForm.html
to request materials. Remember, parents may also
register their children online (unless a fee waiver is required).
The registration
deadline is March 1 for paper applications, and March 17 for
online applications. If you have any questions, please contact Barbara McHugh,
4th/5th Grade Talent Search Coordinator, at 919-668-9135, or bmchugh@tip.duke.edu.
Thank you very much for
your hard work and dedication to giving gifted students the opportunities they
need and deserve.
