Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a great summer! I am excited to begin working as the gifted facilitator for 7th and 8th grade students. As you know, there have been changes to the gifted program at Palmyra. You should soon be receiving a letter from me in the mail that includes a paper reviewing those changes as well as an invitation for your child's GIEP meeting. I have scheduled GIEP meetings at the beginning of the year to allow us a chance to meet, discuss the programs, learn more about your child, and plan the best ways to meet his/her educational needs.
One of the goals of the gifted facilitators is to increase communication with parents. We now have a page on the district's Moodle site. You can access this site from the district's home page. I will be giving each of you an instruction sheet with your child's Moodle log in information when we meet for the GIEP meeting. In the mean time, you can log in as a guest to view this site.
I have scheduled meetings with each 7th and 8th grade gifted student during the first week of school. I am hoping to use this time to get to know your student and work together to set some goals for the school year.
Please feel free to contact me at any point throughout the school year with questions or concerns. I look forward to a wonderful school year and appreciate all of your help and support at home.
