Myths about the Gifted Student

What do we do?

The High Potential Resource team provides direct services to identified students in grades 3-8. In addition, our elementary resource teachers provide enrichment groups to students in grades 1 and 2 who are recommended by their classroom teachers.

We review student data, collect data and do individual testing of students to identify those students in need of services. We act as a resource to classroom teachers in order to provide challenging learning experiences for learners.  

Who are we?

Our team is composed of a coordinator, three elementary resource teachers assigned to the various buildings, and two middle school resource teacher who work with the 3 middle schools. At the high school level, selected staff offer Advanced Placement courses or College in the Schools courses to provide academic rigor for our students.
