Upcoming Events for Middle School Gifted Parents or Students

Nov. 12 - Parent Forum: Overview of Middle School Gifted Programs
This event is mainly for parents of 5th- and 6th-graders who will be in middle school next year. Of course, parents of students in middle school now are certainly welcome as well. This forum is one of a series held by the ASD Gifted Program. All forums are from 7-8 p.m. in the ASD Education Center at 5530 E. Northern Lights Boulevard. For a complete schedule of Parent Forums, see the Gifted Program's main web page (link provided below).

It's not too early to think about talent searches and summer academic programs for your gifted or high-achieving student. Some programs have fall or early winter application deadlines. Watch for additional information from your child's school and on this site!
