TAG Updates:
New Information for the 2021-2022 school year:
All testing has been done.
*Check back here for more information as it becomes available. There are also district links in the orange box in the upper right corner.
Single Subject Acceleration in Math & Whole Grade Acceleration open April 15th-May 15th. These Acceleration opportunities are for students who EXCEED their current grade level by a whole year. Please look at the district websites (linked above) to learn more information before contacting your child's teacher. If you then decide to reach out to your child's teacher, please include Lori Clark (lclark@pps.net) and Lisa Davidson (ldavidso@pps.net) on the email.
Other things to consider (outside the world of academics):
-
the Social/Emotional/Relationship piece of working with older students
-
SSA will require the student to get themselves to Middle School when in 5th grade and require 8th graders to get themselves to the HS for the corresponding math times- the district does NOT provide transportation
-
Sometimes schedules cannot be worked out among the 2 schools to meet a math swap
-
SSA and WGA are done in very rare circumstances
ACCESS is moving to the westside. Students will be at the Terwilliger School.

We have some copies of Memory Jars by Vera Brosgol ($18.99) left over from Vera's visit last year. If you would like to purchase a copy, contact the office.
Updated Building TAG Plan- This will be updated (again) when we receive information from the state.
