A gifted program coordinator is available to work with individual teachers, subject-area departments, principals and students. Intelligence is the global capacity of an individual to act purposefully, to think rationally and to deal effectively with his environment. David Wechsler Gifted building coordinators facilitate ongoing daily activities at each school site. The Gifted Education Coordinator for Floyd County Public Schools is Linda Waggaman . The Gifted Parent Advisory Committee's mission is to increase community awareness and participation in programs for gifted students in the Floyd County School Division.
Membership includes a parent representative from each school.
This committee meets four times during the school year at 4 p.m. in the conference room of the Floyd County School Board Office. All sessions of the advisory committee are opened to the public. Also, classroom teachers maintain strategy logs on behalf of each of our gifted students. These logs are sent home at the end of the second, fourth and sixth six-week grading period along with student report cards. A Summer Enrichment Camp is held each year for students who have completed the second through seventh grades.
