Talented and Gifted (TAG)  Program Overview

We identify Talented and Gifted students with regard to intellectual and measures of math and reading achievements for students performing at the 97% tile or better.  We also look at multiple measures in order to assess potential when a student is within the standard error of measurement of meeting the 97% tile.

Each identified student has a personalized educational plan developed to meet their rate and level of instruction.  These plans are based on the needs, interests of the students and incorporate consideration of multiple options from each school sites’ pyramid of services.  We consider both acceleration and enrichment options.

Parents have rights with regard to identification, participation, appeals and complaints.  While parents can choose from the options, they cannot require them.  In the best interests of each child, the plan is a collaborative effort of the student, teacher and parent.  Each school site has a part-time or extended contract TAG facilitator to help support the student, teachers and parents.

 
TAG News
A team of 5th grade TAG students from Sisters Elementary School recently competed in the national 5th/6th grade America Answers Quiz Bowl. Although it was their first Quiz Bowl competition, the Sisters team beat over half of the 5th grade teams entered nationwide, and received the highest score of any 5th grade team in Oregon! (Of which there were seven). Way to go!!

During the competition the air was thick with excitement and tension. Our students worked together as a team extremely well, remaining calm and handling missed answers with good attitudes and sportsman-like behavior. I believe the students enjoyed the experience so much that they will want to compete again next year, regardless of the score report!

Many thanks to the 5th grade teachers whose flexibility with scheduling allowed students to participate.

I'm so proud of our students, and I know you are too!
