Hello and welcome!

Thank you for visiting the Adams 12 GT Parents Group website.  Our group was founded and is run by volunteer parents of gifted and talented students in the Adams 12 school district.  Our mission is to provide resources, education, enrichment, and advocacy for Adams 12 GT families. 

We have a wealth of resources on this page so please take a look around and explore the many ways to get involved with your student's education!  We recently moved our website and you may find some resource pages are not fully migrated over yet.  You can still access our full collection of resources at our original site.

GT Parent Forum: Acceleration

 Thank you to everyone who joined us for our GT Parent Forum on Acceleration on April 9, 2026.  Dr. Lynn Saltzgaver, Director of AAGS, and Dr. Colleen Urlik, Principal at Hulstrom K-8, were kind enough to join us and share some information on different forms of acceleration and Adams 12 policies for whole-grade or subject acceleration. We've shared their slides for reference or for anyone who was not able to attend.

Thank you to our fellow parents who attended and shared their own experiences with acceleration.  Our forums are a fantastic opportunity to learn from both the experts as well as other parents while also strengthening our gifted parent community.  If you have a topic you would like to see in a future GT Parent Forum, please send us an email at info@a12gifted.org.
