  • Some daycares are closed tomorrow for the holiday.  Please plan accordingly and ensure your child's transportation changes are communicated with all parties.  Love and Learn is a daycare that will be closed.

An Important Message about the Gifted Identification Process:

The gifted referral window will be open from Thursday, October 22, through Thursday November 12, at 11:59 PM. During this time, students may be referred to the gifted identification process by an educator, parent/guardian, community member, peer, or self. By submitting a referral, you are requesting your child be evaluated to determine eligibility for gifted services. To learn more about the gifted identification process, please click here: 26-27 Gifted Identification Information. To begin a referral, login to PowerSchool and click on forms. Follow this guide for instructions. Additional information about gifted programs can be found on our website: Henrico Schools Gifted Services Website

You may have recently received an email from PowerSchool that a form has been submitted for your student. That means a family member or staff member has referred your child or children to be evaluated for the gifted identification process.
  • Please look for the link titled 26-27 Gifted Referral Form. Click on this form even if it shows as submitted.
  • Please check to ensure you have given permission if that is your desire and that "I do not give permission" has not accidentally been indicated.
  • This form must be completed by Thursday, November 12, in order for your student to be considered for the gifted identification process.
  • If you have any questions or need assistance accessing PowerSchool, please feel free to reach out to the main office.

Have a great evening!
