This program is designed for the child who catches on quickly and for whom regular classroom work is too slow paced. Besides the accelerated pace, enrichment materials and special topics are included. All of these children are perceived as above grade level. It is believed that they can benefit from additional instruction outside the regular curriculum. A first grade component of the gifted program will be offered during the second semester of the school year.
All schools have school nurses, counselors, psychologists, and social workers to assist students.
