Gifted and Talented Services

Grades K-5:

• Students are identified for services based on a series of assessments (mathematics units tests, running records, teacher made pre-assessments). Student performance data on said assessments is utilized to compact students out of mastered standards. Students are then provided with extension learning activities in the form of classroom based enrichment experiences aligned to the curriculum.

Grades 6 - 12:

• Students are identified for services based on classroom performance and teacher recommendation for a variety of honors level and Advanced Placement courses. Students are also provided with many options for enrichment via cycle and elective courses.

For school-related questions about how to request an evaluation for services related to student giftedness, please contact your child's principal.
