GT LEADers in Action!
December 2017
Kindergarten Gifted and Talented Identification Meeting
The two week window for nominating your child for gifted and talented testing opens on Monday, December 4 and lasts until Friday, December 15. Please contact the homeroom teacher or myself if you are interested in having your child tested, which will begin after the winter holiday break in January. A digital parent survey and permission-to-test form will be shared through email, or you can pick up a paper copy from the Cannon front office. GT LEAD classes for these young scholars will begin in February and will be 45 minutes each week.
The district presentation from the parent meeting in November is now available on the district website under Advanced Academics, or you can click on this link.
