A Message From Your GRT
It’s such a pleasure to work with your gifted child in 2nd – 5th grade. I’m really happy to see them in person this year. Each week, I will be meeting with students to focus on critical, creative, logical, problem solving, metacognitive and questioning skills. Students will have a composition notebook for drawing, journaling, story writing and brainstorming ideas. They may bring the notebook home to share with parents/caregivers and return to school each day.
Our meeting focus will revolve around such topics as:
Students going into 2nd through 5th grade may apply to attend Old Donation School full time.
Students going to middle school next year have the following options:
