New Programs for the 2012-13 School Year

I have just listed the new programs for the 2012-13 school year on this blog, and the detailed descriptions of the courses will be available to schools shortly.  I am offering 14 programs this year.  

What is most exciting, is that we have changed how the referrals are processed.  Here are the following changes:

1.  There are fewer deadline dates for all programs:  the first deadline is October 26, 2012  and the second deadline is in January 23, 2013.  

2.  Invitations for programs will be emailed and blue bagged to the Gifted Contact, who will distribute to the student.  The School Gifted Contact will make sure the student is informed and that the family returns the parent consent form to Marielle Wiesinger, at Brock Elementary. 

At the Gifted Contact Meetings, we will inform the schools of this process.  There will be 2 Gifted Contact Meetings this year:  September 27 1-3 pm  at Mckenzie Elementary and October 3rd 3:30-5:30 pm at General Brock Elementary.
