Our GT students enjoyed the Gifted and Talented Experiences this week!
Does Your Child Exhibit Signs of Being Gifted and Talented?
It's time to refer students with giftedness, or gifted potential, for G/T screening during the 2021-2022 school year.
- Have questions on what traits to look for?
- Wonder what the entire G/T ID process looks like?
- Need information on next steps?
Visit us at www.fwisd.org/gt and click on "G/T Identification" for all of this and more!

Devious Licks
Lately there has been a Tik Tok challenge going around social media called Devious licks which encourages students to vandalize and steal property from schools. This has been happening all over the country. While mostly this is a middle or high school challenge, we are disappointed to report that some of our students have started to participate by stealing soap dispensers from the wall and filling restroom floors with toilet paper. :(
Social Media can be a powerful influence over young people. Our goal is to help parents be aware and equipped to keep your children safe. Please take the time this weekend to speak to your students about respecting school property and taking pride in our school community.
