Students are assigned “AT HOME” work. Each child has a WINGS communication folder. I am requesting parents check

these folders on a regular basis for important information and to know the progress of your child completing assignments.

The completion of these assignments will determine their GEP progress report evaluation level. Also, students must have

an 80% average or above in all gifted courses, including resource, to continue in good standing. Please feel free to contact

me at 912-395-5940, or email at adrian.griffin@sccpss.com, if you have any questions or concerns.

OUR SCHEDULE

Gifted Students are in their GEP resource class on

Tuesdays and Thursdays at these scheduled times.
