If you have trouble, do the parts you can and ask me, your peers, or your parents for help. I stay after school most days, M210.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS
The new design of the Gifted and Talented program at GP Middle School will be a monthly workshop on topics related to college and career readiness. These workshops will be held in various venues in the community to introduce students to resources and experts in various fields of study. This pullout program will include all GT identified students in grades six through eight. On each trip there will be a 10:1 ratio of students to chaperone to keep the groups small and the direct instruction more hands-on. We are excited about the possibilities to inspire our middle school students to start planning, so they can take advantage of the many opportunities GP High School offers students, such as Pre-AP, AP, CTE, and Dual Credit classes. Here are the following dates to remember.
PARENTS: If you have not attended a parent meeting, a hold will be placed on your child's workshop attendance until you meet with Mrs. Reininger.
