Tuba City Unified School District parent navigator Last updated 09/09/2026
Tuba City uses a five-step referral, evidence-review, testing, eligibility, and annual-review process. Families can start the referral, contribute a parent input form, give permission for CogAT or NNAT3 testing, and expect written results within 30 school days.
Independent from Tuba City Unified School District. Official district instructions always control.

What the official record confirms
Applicable school year: 2026-27. Bloomfield separates official requirements from our preparation guidance.
Published coverageK-12 identification and a grade-banded continuum of services
Published processA parent, guardian, teacher, principal, staff member, or student may refer. The coordinator collects parent, student, and teacher input plus grades and assessment evidence before recommending services or testing. Formal testing uses CogAT verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal reasoning; NNAT3 may support English learners, students receiving exceptional-student services, and other at-risk students. The district publishes a local service threshold beginning at the 90th percentile or highly proficient state-assessment performance.
Published modelTCUSD's K-12 scope describes differentiated core instruction, enrichment, project-based learning, and attention to social-emotional needs. Delivery may include pullout, cluster, self-contained, honors, extracurricular, and experiential opportunities depending on grade and campus; families should confirm the assigned configuration with the gifted coordinator.
