Gifted Placement Appeal Form - Due Aug 12, 2022
Two of the major goals of our Gifted programming is to meet the unique academic needs of the gifted learner and provide those learners with an opportunity to develop his or her individual strengths and critical and creative thinking abilities. Although the work your child does in school gives us many opportunities to observe his or her strengths and interests, the activities that your child pursues at home can also help us to find ways of understanding the child’s talents and abilities. For this reason, the appeal form requests information on your child and asks 13 questions related to "things your child likes to do". Each of the 13 items deals with a general type of interest or activity that you may or may not have seen in your child. The interests or activities might be the result of school assignments, extracurricular, club activities, etc. It will, of course, be very helpful if you can jot down specific examples of your child's interests or activities related to each item.
