Reach out to your child's school to learn more about this process. If your child live in Orleans Parish but is not currently attending a NOLA-PS school, this request can be made through the NOLA-PS Child Search Office.

Evaluation Request

Eligible families can apply to Gifted and Talented seats for 3 and 4 year olds through OneApp. In order to be considered for placement, applicants to Gifted programs must verify their eligibility, as with all other early childhood seats, as well as have a current Gifted and Talented IEP or evaluation approved by OPSB’s Office of Child Search. Verification of eligibility must take place before the application deadline. Evaluations can be scheduled through OPSB’s online appointment request tool at https://www.nolapublicschools.com/families/child-search.

Applicants must submit a Gifted and Talented Evaluation with their application to G/T programs each year they apply.

Gifted and Talented exceptionalities must be written in the charter for the Louisiana Department of Education to require the school to provide such services. Please email zclark@nolapublicschools.com if you have questions or concerns about special education programming.
