Referral Requests for Gifted
and Talented Testing
Referral requests are now open for Conroe Independent School District Gifted and Talented program. Although the testing will not take place until late January for both remote and in-person platforms, referral requests are accepted at this time. Referral requests can be made by the parents and/or teachers.
It is recommended that parents of 2nd grade students wait until CogAT scores have arrived before nominating their child because CogAT scores are part of the GT assessment.
If you are interested in referring your child, you may want to discuss this with your
child’s teacher at conferences. Referrals will be accepted through December 18. You may request a referral form from the front office or the Assistant Principal. You can also find the referral form and other GT information on the CISD GT homepage.

This element means that everything we do, say, text, tweet, snap, or post can positively or negatively impact other people. According to research from McKinsey
& Co, “the typical American hears or reads more than one hundred thousand words
every day.” Think about that for a moment: 100,000 words every single day. Now,
stop and ask yourself, “Are the percentage of words someone else hears or reads from
me helping or hurting that person?” As Rachel Wolchin says, “Be mindful with
words. A string of some that don’t mean much to you may stick with someone for a
lifetime.”
And, moving beyond our words and social media posts, our actions can have ripple
effects long after we make them. Deeds highlighting our character – such as forgiving
a sibling, being present and enthusiastic about a colleague’s presentation, or kindly
holding the elevator door for a stranger – can impact the people we love, work with,
or even just bump into on the street. Through your actions – and the character
strengths you do/don’t exemplify in them – you have the power to make somebody
happy, sad, inspired, or discouraged. And, always remember, our words and actions are our choices to make.
On an individual level, our words and actions impact our relationships with other people. They have the power to lift others up or tear them down. But, our words and actions also impact ourselves. If I am consistently speaking or acting with an entitled, arrogant, or mean attitude, I’m going to find it tougher to tap into and exemplify the character strengths of gratitude, humility, and kindness.
When a group is comprised of individuals who are thoughtful about their words and actions; individuals who show respect and consideration for the people around them – we’re likely to have a happier and healthier culture.
