An Overview of Gifted Services in VBCPS
Gifted services are available in Virginia Beach City Public Schools
at all levels through both site-based and city-wide programs.
A teacher, parent/guardian, peer, student response team, student
or any person who has knowledge of the student's abilities may
initiate an application for gifted services by contacting the Gifted
Resource Teacher at the child's neighborhood school.
In addition, the division screens all first and fifth graders to ensure
consideration for gifted services. Parents or guardians can obtain
screening results by accessing the child’s ParentVUE account and
navigating to the Standardized Test Results tab.
Student eligibility for citywide gifted services is determined through
the use of multiple criteria. Students must demonstrate potential
for exceptional performance and academic needs that cannot be met
through general education curriculum.
VBCPS identifies students in the areas of:
· General Intellectual Aptitude
· Visual and Performing Arts Aptitude
