Gifted and Talented Program

The Georgia State Board of Education defines a gifted student as:

"...a student who demonstrates a high degree of intellectual and/or creative ability(ies), exhibits an exceptionally high degree of motivation, and/or excels in specific academic fields, and who needs special instruction and/or ancillary services to achieve at levels commensurate with his/her abilities.” 

Special Education

Parents, you are such an important member of your childs IEP team and have valuable information to share about your child.   We are always looking for ways to bridge together parent and teacher/school   communication so, beginning this 2013-2014 school year, you will receive by mail, the IEP Planning-Parent Comments form. We ask that you fill out the form and return before   attending your child's meeting. It will only take a few minutes to complete   and this will be another way for every member to be fully prepared for each  IEP meeting.

If you have any questions, you may contact Heather Stewart at heather.stewart@trionschools.org
