Parent Events

Two to three times a year, A12GTPG hosts parent education events (Parent Education Series, GT Parent Forum) where information is presented to our parent/caregiver community by guest panels or invited expert speakers in the field of gifted and talented education to speak about topics of interest to the GT community.  These educational events are both a chance to share resources but also build community among our district GT families.  You can see videos and resources from past parent events on our Parent Resource page.  

In addition, we coordinate both daytime and evening social hours, as an informal option for GT parents/caregivers to come together, share experiences, and learn from each other.  We'd even be willing to try to facilitate a social for an individual school, if you feel it would help build momentum and interest at the school-level.  

We also hold planning meetings a few times a year where the leadership gets together to work on upcoming events and give feedback on past events.  We love to hear from our community about what they liked and want more of, as well as what things we can improve or new ideas to bring to the table.  Don't let the formality of the name intimidate you!  We're a small, friendly group and appreciate all who show up to these meetings, even if they are only able to attend one time.

Check out our calendar to see what parent events we have coming up.

Student & Family Events

We traditionally offer multiple student and family events each year to provide enrichment and/or give students an opportunity to connect with other GT students.  Past events include Middle School Madness, Middle School Escape Room, Family Swim Social, Family Playdates, and more.  These events are planned and run by volunteers, so if you would like to help, please come to our next planning meeting (see our calendar for next planning meeting dates), or reach out to us via email at info@a12gifted.org. 

These events can be quite popular and some fill up quickly after registration opens.  Be the first to know by making an account so that you can be added to our newsletter distribution list.
