Parent and
Community Involvement
Because education for the gifted requires a
strong partnership between parents and teacher, and cooperation with the community
in utilizing community resources, the GEMS program will promote the active
involvement and support of parents and community members.
Involvement and awareness was established and will be maintained through
the following:
- Parent/community participation in the
planning process was achieved through representatives who served on
the Planning Committee.
- Parents and community members will
participate in the identification process by being allowed to nominate
prospective students for the program.
- Information concerning the program will
be disseminated through correspondence, the school newspaper, student handbooks,
and presentations to the community.
- Parents will receive information
concerning their child's progress through evaluations sent home and
through parent/teacher conferences.
- Parents will participate in the
evaluation process by being asked to complete evaluations forms concerning
their child's progress in the program and their opinion concerning the
program's effectiveness.
