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.
