Gifted Education

Second Independent Project Showcase

May 1, 2013 at 6pm in the Elementary Multi-Purpose Room

Customized education is designed to meet the needs of all children at all ability levels.  The Apollo-Ridge School District believes that all students can be educated in the regular classroom by a highly qualified teacher that can differentiate the instruction to meet the needs of all students in the classroom.  The gifted student will be given various enrichment opportunities in his/her classroom.  In addition, an enrichment class can be scheduled to afford the opportunity to work on independent projects.  Teacher support is given during these times.

Mrs. Janetta Thomas will be coordinating the Gifted Program.  Mrs. Thomas can be reached at 724-478-6000, extension 1020. 

If you have further questions, you can contact the CSS Office.
