Dear WUES Families,

Students in grades K-5 may apply to the HISD Gifted & Talented Program (GT) for the 2024-25 school year.  Current HISD 2^nd-grade students have already been tested this year; no application was necessary.  KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY TEST THIS YEAR. Kindergarten parents must apply to have their students tested for GT.

This application is not for entering kindergarten students for the 2024-2025 school year. Information about that testing window will be shared after winter break.
