Gifted and Talented Applications
The Gifted & Talented (G&T) application is now open.
If you have a child born in 2016 and are interested in G&T programs for your child, be sure to apply by
Friday, April 9, 2021.
How to Apply You can submit your child’s G&T application one of three ways by the April 9 deadline:
Online with MySchools.nyc--Need help setting up your account? We’ll walk you through the process in this video.
Through a Family Welcome Center--learn how at schools.nyc.gov/FWC.
By phone at 718-935-2009
On your application, add up to 12 G&T program you’d like your child to attend. Be sure to list them in your true order of preference, with your first choice at the top as #1. Complete any questions, check your child’s information for accuracy, and submit your application: when you see the confetti, you’ll know we’ve received it!
This month, join us for a virtual Gifted & Talented Information Session to learn more! At each event, we’ll share an admissions presentation and answer your questions: find dates, times, and interpretation information for specific sessions on our website. We’ll also provide links to join each online session.
After You Apply:
- After you submit your G&T application, your child’s current pre-K program (if they currently attend pre-K) will then complete a questionnaire to confirm your child’s eligibility for G&T. Or, if your child does not currently attend pre-K, our Early Childhood Team will contact you to schedule a virtual interview and then complete this questionnaire.
- In the spring, we’ll contact all families who applied to let you know if your child is or isn’t eligible for G&T seats. Then all eligible children will be considered for admission.
- In the summer, families of eligible children will receive G&T results letters, which may include an offer and/or waitlist information.
- Please note: No applicants will be tested this year for G&T admissions, and this year’s application process is only for children entering kindergarten this fall. G&T offers for children entering first, second, or third grade will be made from last year’s waitlists.
___________________________________________________________________________
Estimado padre o tutor: Ya está abierto el período de solicitud de ingreso a los programas para estudiantes Dotados y Talentosos (Gifted & Talented, G&T). Si tiene un hijo que nació en 2016 y le interesa que asista a un programa G&T, solicite el ingreso a más tardar el
viernes, 9 de abril de 2021.
Cómo solicitar el ingreso: Antes de que venza el plazo el 9 de abril, puede enviar la solicitud de su hijo para programas G&T de una de las siguientes maneras:
- Por internet, a través de MySchools.nyc. ¿Necesita ayuda para crear su cuenta? En este video lo guiaremos a través del proceso.
- A través de un Centro de Bienvenida a las Familias. Vea cómo en schools.nyc.gov/FWC.
- Por teléfono, llamando al 718-935-2009.
Participe este mes en una sesión informativa virtual sobre los programas G&T para obtener más detalles. En cada evento, haremos una presentación sobre el proceso de admisión y contestaremos sus preguntas: en nuestro sitio web podrá encontrar información sobre las fechas, los horarios y los servicios de interpretación específicos para cada sesión. También daremos a conocer los enlaces para participar en cada una de las sesiones virtuales.
Después de presentar la solicitud de ingreso:
- Después de que envíe su solicitud de ingreso a los programas G&T, el programa de prekínder de su hijo (si asiste a uno actualmente) completará un cuestionario para determinar si su hijo cumple con los requisitos de ingreso a estos programas. O, si su hijo no asiste actualmente a prekínder, nuestro equipo para la primera infancia se comunicará con usted para programar una entrevista virtual y completar el cuestionario.
- En la primavera, nos comunicaremos con todas las familias que enviaron una solicitud para informarles si sus hijos reúnen o no los requisitos para un cupo en programas G&T. Entonces, se tendrá en cuenta para la admisión a todos los que reúnan los requisitos.
- En el verano, las familias de los niños que reúnen los requisitos de ingreso recibirán la carta con los resultados G&T, la cual puede incluir una oferta de cupo o información sobre la lista de espera.
- Para tener en cuenta: Este año, no se evaluará a los aspirantes para las admisiones a los programas G&T y el proceso de solicitud de ingreso será solo para los niños que ingresen a kínder este otoño. Las ofertas de cupo de los programas G&T para los estudiantes que ingresan a 1.ᵉʳ, 2.ᵒ o 3.ᵉʳ grado se harán a partir de las listas de espera del año pasado.

尊敬的家長/監護人： 資優（Gifted & Talented，簡稱G&T）課程申請現已開放！如果您有子女出生於2016年並有興趣讓子女入讀資優課程，請一定要在2021年4月9日（星期五）或之前提出申請。
如何申請
在截止日4月9日前，您可以使用以下三種方法之一遞交申請表：
- 上網到MySchools.nyc提出申請──需要幫助設立賬戶嗎？我們在這則視頻中爲您逐步説明這一步驟。
- 經由家庭歡迎中心提出申請──到網站schools.nyc.gov/FWC瞭解該怎麽做。
- 致電718-935-2009提出申請
在您的申請表上，列出您希望子女入讀的最多12個資優課程。請務必按照您真實的志願順序將其列出，將第一志願列在最上面，即#1。完成每一個問題，檢查關於子女的資訊是否準確無誤，然後遞交申請表：當您看到屏幕上飄下五彩紙屑時，就知道我們已收到申請表。
這個月，請參加我們的虛擬資優課程資訊講座瞭解詳情！在每一場活動上，我們將講解入學程序，回答您的問題：到我們的網站找出關於講座的具體日期、時間和口譯服務資訊。我們還將提供參加各個網上資訊會的鏈接。
在您提出申請之後
在您遞交資優申請表之後，您子女當前就讀的學前班課程（如果您子女當前就讀學前班）接著將完成一份調查問卷，以確定您子女是否符合資優課程資格。或者，如果您子女目前沒在就讀學前班，則我們的幼教小組將聯絡您，安排一次虛擬面談，然後完成這份調查問卷。
- 春天，我們將聯絡提出申請的所有家庭，通知有關您的子女是否有資格得到資優課程名額的安排。接著，所有符合資格的兒童將得到入學考慮。
- 夏天，符合資格的兒童的家庭將收到資優課程安排結果通知函，通知上會包括一項入學安排和/或候補名單資訊。
- 請注意：所有申請學生今年都不會參加資優入學的測驗，而且今年的申請程序將只適用於今秋入讀幼稚園的學生。對於即將入讀一年級、二年級或三年級的學生，我們將按去年的候補名單作出資優課程的入學安排。
