The AIM Department will collect data again in the spring for program participation for Gifted and Talented students. You should make it a practice to update information in a student's record as they are evaluated and potentially identified. Once these fields are marked for a student, they will remain a part of their record moving forward.
Districts have the option to enter the data manually in the student’s 2023-24 enrollment record or upload the data using the Program Participation File Template linked below.
