A Note From Mrs. Shook
Wow! It is hard to believe that the first quarter is halfway through. Your child should have received his/her progress reports from his/her core teachers. You should also be receiving your child's DEP signed by his/her teachers. I will send an e-mail when they go home.
This school year we will be starting an affective curriculum for gifted students. Students will be added to a Canvas course online and have access to the course. The course will cover topics such as what it means to be gifted, how to handle school stress, and other issues that matter to gifted middle schoolers! Sixth graders will be having "lunch bunch" groups with me quarterly to discuss what they have learned. Watch for more information to come!
Below you will find various opportunities available for your child. These are for your information and do not mean that you have to participate. I try to provide as many resources as I can for you.
If at any point, you have questions and/or concerns. Feel free to contact me!
