How can I get my child in TAG?
In January upon parent or teacher referral, kindergarten students can be tested for the TAG program. Referring a child for testing does not mean the child is gifted, it just means that we want more information. You may also choose to wait and not request your kinder student to be tested for TAG and instead do this in 1st grade. If a kindergarten student tests for TAG while in kindergarten, they cannot test again for TAG until 2nd grade. Here is a helpful resource for you from the Caraway TAG staff on bright vs. gifted children. If you are interested, the referral form is now posted online. The link will remain active until December 8 at the end of the school day. This date is the end of the referral window. All forms will need to be submitted no later than that day.
