Results from GT Parent Survey Spring 2011: During May 2011, parents of gifted learners in Poudre School District were offered an opportunity to provide feedback on the district's Gifted and Talented Program.  Poudre School District is a site-based district, so programs will look different at each school; however, there is a district-wide system for identification and Advanced Learning Plans.  The results of the survey were very helpful in guiding the focus for the district Gifted and Talented Program.  Results do not indicate specific schools.  Each individual school will be administering this same survey in May 2012.  Results will help specific schools evaluate the GT program at the school site level.  Contact your school's GT Site Coordinator for more information.

CALLING ALL GIRLS!!! Come and represent Bethke at the All-Girl Chess Tournament on February 11th at Boltz. See below for more information.  Go Bobcats!

To all our Bobcats...let's have a great 2012!

SENG is a seven week guided discussion and support group for parents of gifted and talented children lead by trained facilitators. Each week a new topic relevant to raising gifted children will be the focus. The books ­A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children and Guiding the Gifted Child provide rich information for discussion. Participants select the book that fits them best. All the books have similar information, but vary by length and format. There is also an outlined booklet that may be selected as the discussion text. See the flyer below for more information.

I just want to wish the Bethke community a happy and healthy Thanksgiving with family and friends!
I will miss of all my Bobcats!
See you back at Bethke on November 29th!

What a great meeting this morning. Your ideas and energy are awesome.  I loved your thoughts on the 2011-12 layout.
 
Our next meeting will be November 22nd.  We will focus on reviewing pictures from Halloween and designing our first page.

Exciting!

See you in Room 138 at 8:00 AM. 

Keep up the great work...you rock!
