News from your Instructional Coordinator

Welcome Back to a new year!!  Together we can make the 2018-2019 a great year.

From this page you may find some information regarding Gifted Education, TeamMates, and the Science Fair.

Please feel free to call or email with questions you may have.

This year we will be working with other nearby schools to provide parents of identified students  information about students with visual spatial strengths. This same information will also be presented at the parent forum on January 17 at Pound Middle School so that if you have a conflict, you will still have access to the information.

 Our local meeting will be held at Elliot Elementary at  6 p.m. on Tuesday, October 9, 2018.

 Supporting the Student with Visual Spatial Strengths

If your child loves Legos, thrives on taking apart the vacuum cleaner, and struggles with math facts, you may have a student whose strengths lie in the visual spatial realm. These students are often confusing to teachers and parents, because the constellation of their strengths and weaknesses may seem inconsistent. These are big picture thinkers who frequently do not relate to the sequencing that many other populations habitually require.

Presenters will discuss how this population navigates the world and how to draw upon their strengths and support their weaknesses.
