Call for GT Nominations Extended!
Each year schools in St. Vrain Valley School District complete a process to identify students in grades K-12 who demonstrate exceptional ability or performance in one or more academic areas and may therefore qualify for Gifted/Talented educational services. These students perform at least two years above grade level in their strength area(s) and require additional academic challenges in order to support their continued educational growth and progress. In addition, they usually demonstrate characteristics of unique creativity and high motivation in their strength areas.
The search for gifted/talented students begins with an opportunity for parents and/or teachers to refer students for review. Once referrals are received, a team of educators review student state testing data, standardized test scores, rating scales and other school data to determine student eligibility.
If you believe that your child qualifies and would benefit from district Gifted/Talented services, please pick up a nomination form from the front office and return it by Friday, September 26, 2014.
If you have questions, contact the school’s Gifted/Talented liason. For K-5 students, contact Heidi Davis at [email protected]. For 6-8 students, contact Robyn Bockelman at [email protected].
Odyssey of the Mind
Is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program.
SVVSD is excited to participate in this opportunity again with our K-12 grade students. If you would like more information on the program, visit:
