CONWAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS GIFTED & TALENTED

GIFTED & TALENTED REFERRALS ARE NOW OPEN

Fall Testing Cycle

Students currently in 3rd grade or above may be referred for Gifted & Talented consideration. A referral begins the evaluation process and does not guarantee identification.

A student may benefit from referral when they learn quickly and make meaningful connections, think deeply, creatively, or in unusual ways, show advanced reasoning, curiosity, or problem-solving, or need greater depth, complexity, or academic challenge.

No special preparation is needed. Gifted & Talented identification is based on multiple measures.

IMPORTANT DATES

Teacher Referral Deadline: September 23, 2026

Parent Referral Deadline: September 25, 2026

Parent Permission to Test Deadline: September 25, 2026

Fall Testing Window: September 28–October 9, 2026

Kindergarten Families 💙 Kindergarten Camp is officially over, and tomorrow is your child’s first official day of kindergarten! 🥳 Tomorrow, you may walk your child to their classroom for the final time. Teachers will be at their classroom doors beginning at 7:45 a.m. to welcome students. After tomorrow, kindergarten students are expected to get out of the car and enter the building on their own. Parents will no longer be permitted to walk students to the front door, classroom, or inside the building. It may be harder on you than it is on them but we know they can do it! We’re excited for a great year!

Please take note of our first-day arrival times: 1st–4th Grade: Classroom doors will open at 7:45 a.m. Teachers will be ready to welcome students and families at that time. Kindergarten: Classroom doors will open at 9:00 a.m. Teachers will be ready to welcome our kindergarten students and families at that time. If you need to arrive earlier, 7:45 a.m. is available to you as well. If you plan to walk your child to class on the first day, please wait until your child’s designated classroom opening time. Important 🚨: After the first day, students are expected to enter the building independently. If your child is a car rider, please remain in your vehicle, drop your child off in the designated car rider line, and continue moving through the line. This helps us keep morning arrival safe, smooth, and efficient for everyone. Thank you for helping us have a smooth start to the school year!

Welcome Back!

As students and staff return to school for another year, let’s all do our part in keeping safety at the forefront of our minds at school, at home, and on the road.

· Watch for school buses. Slow down and never pass a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.

· Drive safely in school zones. Slow down, pay attention, and watch carefully for students, parents, crossing guards, and school staff.

· Stay alert. It only takes a few seconds of distraction to change a life forever.

· School safety starts when we leave our homes. It doesn’t just depend on what happens inside our school buildings.

Let’s work together to ensure every student and staff member arrives at school and returns home Safe and Sound.

The volume of traffic will increase this week. Please be patient as we work together getting back in the routine of drop off and pick up.

Welcome back, Wampus Cats!
