Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Parent Education Meeting! 

Lynn Saltzgaver, Director of Advanced Academic and Gifted Services, presented "Advanced Learning Plans in Adams 12."   

This presentation covered the Adams 12 Advanced Learning Plan (ALP), including the purpose of an ALP, writing ALP goals which highlight the Colorado Essential Skills, and ways parents and students can participate in the ALP process. 

​

You can see the slides from this presentation HERE. 

Talking points for discussing ALP goals

For those interested in hearing Jenny Hecht's Oct. 3 virtual presentation that was mentioned during the talk, you can find more info HERE.

Our next leadership meeting will be a combination leadership and liaison meeting.  This meeting is for our current leadership team as well as our school liaisons and any parent interested in the liaison position.  The meeting is in-person at the ESC on Monday, Oct. 23, 6:30-8:30pm.  You can see more details and RSVP HERE.  We are always looking for parents who would like to get more involved in the Adams 12 GT community and new faces are always welcome!

​

The leadership meeting is also an easy opportunity to meet our 2023-24 Executive Board: Viviane Del Pizzo (President), Jill Cables (President-Elect), Carianne Colwell (Treasurer), and Joanne Bliss (Secretary).  You can learn more about our board members (and see what we look like!) on our About Us page.  We hope to meet you soon!

One of the key goals of the Adams 12 GT Parents Group is to cultivate a strong and supportive community among the Adams 12 GT parent community.  To help parents find support and a feeling of belonging, we host informal meet-ups for parents of gifted and talented students in our district.   Our next social hour will be a virtual meeting on Thursday, October 5 at 6:00pm.  See the SignUp for details and to let us know you are coming! 

If you are in need of support but these times or location do not work for you, please email info@a12gifted.org and we can set up a virtual or in-person meetup that works for you.

During the 2023 CAGT Conference, CAGT would like to showcase gifted student talent.  Students who attend any K-12 school or homeschool can create their artistic interpretation of the conference theme, Imagine, Believe, Grow, and share it with us this fall at CAGT’s Annual Conference, October 8-10, 2023. 

 

Accepted artwork will be displayed at the John Q Hammons Conference Center at the Embassy Suites in Loveland for conference participants to view and vote on their favorites.  The 1st place winner from each age division will receive a cash prize.  Submissions are due by Sept. 11, 2023.  See the flyer for all rules and guidelines.
