Welcome Back to School

  • DEAR FAMILIES,

    Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! My name is Nicole Hinton, and I am the Lead Gifted contact at Bolton Academy. This is my 22nd year as an educator, my 11th year as a Gifted teacher, and my 8th year here at Bolton Academy!!

    We will continue utilizing the cluster and collaboration models and add additional opportunities. We are continuing with the Innovation Block. This is when students will have class with Mrs. Fowler, our Gifted endorsed Science Innovation Lab teacher. All students will attend this class as a part of the Specials rotation. Gifted identified students will have a second Innovation Block on Fridays. We may also be bringing back segments of resource to ensure student needs are being met. We have a few homeroom teachers that are endorsed and students will receive services from them. I will also be pushing-in to classes to provide services.

    All teachers with Gifted identified students on their roster will have access to a Google Classroom specifically for resources & strategies to help grow the gifted learner. We are excited for all that this school year will offer. Please feel free to contact me using my email address below.
