Discovery Program Referral Process
The Discovery Program, otherwise known as Gifted and Talented, is now accepting parent referrals for GT Screening via a google form on the school website!
Current Serene Hills parents can submit referrals for screening until the end of the first 9 weeks, by the date of Oct 10th. Current SHE students will be tested during the 2nd nine weeks, usually in November. If the referral is not submitted by the deadline, the student will have to wait until the next year's screening opportunity to test, as the spring screening session is only for students moving in new to the district after the fall testing window is closed.
The forms and further information about the program can be found at the following link.
LTISD District GT Information and Referral Forms. Once the request is submitted through the google form, the GT coordinator will contact parents via email when the testing dates are set and share other pertinent information as well.

September 26th 6 PM in the SHE Cafeteria
Join us to learn about the Watch D.O.G.S. program (sponsored by PTO). Moms, Dads, and students are welcome. This is a program promotes male presence on campus. Volunteers (fathers and father figures) spend at least one day of the school year at SHE. Watch D.O.G.S. may read, work on flash cards with students, play at recess, eat lunch with students, watch the school entrances and hallways, assist with traffic flow and any other assigned activities where they actively engage with not only their own students, but other students as well. RSVP online so we get enough pizza. If you can't make the kickoff event or if you are ready to sign up to spend a day at the school then sign up now. The schedule starts September 9th and runs through the end of school in May. Order your shirt here.
