President’s Message
There were many changes that took place in Advanced Academics last school year: the implementation of the new weighting system at the high schools, the hiring of a new Advanced Academics Director, the finalization of plans for the ASPIRE Academy expansion to middle school, the increased collaboration between Advanced Academics and Counseling, the improved training for GT teachers, and the improved identification of GT students. SAGE was there every step of the way working with the administration, supporting the teachers and parents, and advocating for the kids.
In addition, SAGE also worked on the following:
- Brown Bag sessions
- Coffee with district personnel
- Outside speakers
- Sage Showcase
- Summer Spotlight
- Integrating campus representatives at each school
- Collaborating with teacher representatives at each school
With your support, we can continue, and expand, these efforts. We will be working to ensure that there is a clear plan for GT students that will provide them with a challenge, allow them to reach their potential, carry them through high school graduation, and prepare them well for college. We will also be working to share experiences and best practices with other districts and across campuses to enable consistent opportunities for exceptional education for all our GT students.
We are excited about the opportunities for this year and invite you to take this journey with us and help us to continue making Grapevine Colleyville the BEST destination for GT education.
