Greetings from the Gifted Coordinator,

As many people know, having a student certified as gifted, doesn’t mean that life is problem-free. Gifted students have
challenges too. Being gifted doesn’t mean that a student is organized, high achieving, and above all the problems typical
teenagers face on a daily basis. In fact, some gifted students really struggle during their middle school years even those who
are high achievers and trying to “do it all” and do it 110%.

Thankfully, many of our gifted students thrive. But if you find your student struggling, please contact your child’s teachers,
guidance counselor, or myself right away.

I can also answer your questions about gifted testing if you want to see if your student will qualify for the program. In addition,
I will also be available to help gifted students and their families with their transition to middle and high school.

The best way to reach me is via e-mail at Andresen_Shelly@asdk12.org. Otherwise, please feel free to contact me at 742-5208. If you prefer to meet in person, please contact
me for an appointment.

Take care,
Shelly Andresen
