Learning In Depth (LiD) coming to Atkinson!

We will be holding an informational meeting for TAG (and other) families interested in learning more about the Learning in Depth program from Canada.  Representatives from Irvington School (which has implemented the program for the last couple of years) will join us to present information and answer questions.  We hope all interested families can join us.

It is our goal to start the program this spring with TAG (and other interested) families and launch school wide next fall with parent and student input.

Please join us!

If you think you might be coming, please email Beth Essex so we have an idea of how many people to expect.  Thank you!

LiD Information Night

Tuesday, February 16 (before PTA meeting)
Room 122 (Mr. Ferguson's room, lower hall)
5:30 - 6:00ish



MAKE UP DATE

For nominated students who missed TAG testing in December, there will be a make up day on Saturday, March 5.  The TAG Department will be sending more information on time and place to the affected families.

TAG TEST RESULTS

This year, the TAG department will be sending results directly to families by mail.  This includes all 2nd grade families who took the CogAT assessment in December.  In addition, all children who were nominated by families and teachers for additional testing in Reading, Math or Intellectual will also receive notification in the mail.

Although the TAG office has not told us exactly when results will be sent out, it will most likely be in the next month or two.
