This page is intended for parents who are interested in having their students screened to be in the gifted and talented program at Wolman Elementary.
Students in Katy ISD have the opportunity to be screened for Gifted and Talented services once a year. The screening calendar and tests are set by the district, and the assessments are administrated by a District Test Proctor. The Gifted & Talented teacher on the campus gathers the data and the Campus Selection Committee reviews the data to determine acceptance to the Gifted & Talented Program. Once a student has been accepted into the Gifted & Talented program in Katy ISD, they are considered part of the program through 12th grade as long as they remain in the district. |
Kindergarten ScreeningKindergarten G/T services begin the first week of March for approximately 1 hour per week.
To start your student in the Gifted & Talented Screening process you need to submit a Parent Checklist. Parent checklists must be turned in by October 11, 2016. NO late checklists are accepted.

Transfer students who have been previously identified for a Gifted & Talented Program in a different district will need to apply for Gifted & Talented Services and go through the assessment process for Katy ISD. Screening for transfer students is on-going and must be initiated by the parent within 2 weeks of enrollment. Please inform the front office upon registration, or you may contact Kathleen Cook (GT teacher). You will need to complete the Elementary Parent Checklist and provide proof of GT identification from the previous school district, which can be in the form of a report card, screening profile, acceptance letter, etc. If you have any test results, you may submit those as well. |
