GIFTED EDUCATION
The Exploration, Enrichment and Research (EER) program is offered to gifted students in grades 3-8. The program has a multi-disciplinary curriculum stressing high levels of thinking. Problem-solving and discussion skills are also developed.
Elementary students (grades 3-5) qualifying for the EER program attend classes at West Elementary School one day each week. Students qualifying in grades 6-8 attend EER classes one hour each day in the middle school buildings.
A team of specially trained instructors work with these students to challenge, motivate and encourage them. For information, call 659-3195.
