• Gifted + Talented Education

    Dear Gifted Students and Families,

     

    Welcome to the Sylvan Hills family! We hope you had a restful and joyful summer. As we begin a new school year, we are thrilled to welcome our talented gifted students back to an inspiring year full of discovery, challenge, and growth. This year, students will engage with advanced-level content designed to deepen their understanding and push their intellectual boundaries. Our gifted program offers enriching opportunities to ignite curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity through activities such as creative problem-solving challenges, hands-on STEM exploration projects, and independent passion projects where students explore topics they love.

     

    Supporting Your Gifted Learner at Home:
    You can make a big difference by encouraging your child’s curiosity and love of learning. Here are a few simple ways to support their growth:

    • Provide opportunities for independent exploration and reading on topics they enjoy

    • Encourage creative problem-solving and open-ended questions

    • Foster a growth mindset by praising effort and resilience

    • Engage in meaningful conversations about their ideas and discoveries

    • Support balance by allowing time for relaxation and social activities

     

    Families, your involvement is invaluable, and we look forward to working together to make this a rewarding and fulfilling year.

     

    Warm regards,
    Ms. BriKeishia Jackson
