The Referral Form is for placement into the Denton ISD EXPO Gifted and Talented Program. 

The EXPO program serves students with exceptional intellectual abilities and potential by providing advanced, differentiated learning experiences that go beyond the regular classroom.

The identification and placement of students for participation in the program is determined by a three-step process: (1) referral, (2) assessment, and (3) placement. 

To begin the process, a referral may be submitted by faculty/staff, parents, community members, or at the secondary level, by self-referral, by the deadline listed below.
