Thanks to all of you who were able to attend the AIG Parent Informational Meeting held in the media center on Thursday, October 29. There was a good parent turnout to hear about the changes and improvements that are being made to the Carteret County Schools AIG Program.
Our AIG Director, Mrs. Wanda Nelson Fowler and I explained the changes and improvements to the AIG program, our new tiered model, eligibility criteria, and the associated service options. Mrs. Fowler also shared student achievement data that supports the direction that the AIG Program is moving in with these program changes. As a school system we are charged with providing a learning environment for each child that allows him/her to make an appropriate amount of academic growth each year. By changing the way we deliver services to our gifted students, we are creating a learning environment that better promotes individual student growth while keeping those students challenged and engaged.
Packets of information were also shared with parents that included each child’s individual tiering information and the tests and the associated scores used at the time of your child’s placement in the AIG program. I am excited to be working with such a dedicated team here at BSE and I look forward to working with them as we provide the rigor and support that are brightest students need.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
