Gifted Programming Update
As part of the audit of our gifted program, all parents will receive an email from the Center of Talent Development (CTD) at Northwestern asking you to complete a survey about Woodridge SD 68's Gifted Program. It might also include information about joining a focus group. Please complete the survey at your earliest convenience. You might want to check your SPAM folder for this email, in case you don't receive it in your inbox.
