• During the first semester, QUEST teachers provide enrichment opportunities for all kindergarten students. The QUEST teacher goes into each kindergarten classroom at least four times during the semester to provide foundational enrichment activities in critical and creative thinking. This helps prepare the students for the type of thinking that will be tested in January. The QUEST teacher is also available to provide, depending upon campus needs and time constraints, additional support and enrichment for kindergarten teachers and students.
• The initial QUEST screening on all Kindergarten students begins in January 2009. All kindergarten students are automatically screened for the QUEST gifted and talented program. The state of Texas requires that kindergarten gifted students are served by March 1. However, the screening process is on-going, and we will continue to gather information about your student's intellectual and creative thinking abilities throughout the kindergarten year.
If you have not already completed a Parent Referral, you may do so at anytime by downloading it from the leanderisd.org website or by requesting a copy from me. You may also gather a portfolio of Outstanding Student Products, independently done by your child that demonstrates creative and divergent thinking." |
