Parental & Community Involvement
Communication and cooperation between home and school are important factors in helping gifted and talented children use and develop their abilities.
The district conducts several Parent-Teacher meetings throughout the school year to discuss the needs of the gifted and talented children and the program.
Parents are encouraged to visit and observe the gifted and talented classroom at any time.
Contact your child’s school to set up appointments.
