We will accept spring referrals for evaluation for Hanover County Public Schools gifted education through Tuesday, January 31.
In order for a student to be considered for the gifted program, they must first be referred for evaluation. A referral can be initiated by:
- a parent
- a teacher
- a peer
- a community member
- by the student
Elementary School (K–5) Referrals
If you would like to refer your child (grades k–5) for testing, please talk to your child’s teacher. Classroom teachers should be part of the communication process as they will be required to submit work products.

Please include your student’s first and last name and their classroom teacher’s name in your message. See below for a list of contacts.
