The Gifted and Talented Programming for the 2021-2022 School Year

Dear Parents, 

The COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread shortages in transportation and busing which impacted the start of our Elementary and Middle School Scholars programs.  We are happy to announce that we have resolved this issue with slight modification to the Scholars' schedule and will resume our Gifted and Talented Programming for the 2021-2022 school year as planned. 

Please make sure your child is on time at their home school so they do not miss the bus. If they do miss the bus, you may bring them to their respective G & T program, and we will provide transportation back to the home school at the end of the day.
