Gifted students qualify for program

Current kindergarten students in Fairfield Independent School District can be nominated for the gifted and talented program by parents or community members until Feb. 11.

Parents or others from the community may nominate students for consideration for the talent pool program by completing a nomination form in the elementary office.

The gifted program is designed to meet the needs of students who are able to perform at a remarkably high level of accomplishment compared to others their age.

Questions to answer include:

Is your child quick to see solutions and new way to solve problems?

Does your child love to learn something new? Will she stay interested in that new subject?

Is your child deeply sensitive to the feelings of others?

Does your child think of unique ways to express ideas?

Does your child show strong determination and persistence?

When your child is working in a special area of interest, is he/she able to work for long periods of time without getting tired of it?

When faced with difficult or complex work, does your child enjoy the challenge?

If these answers describe a child, that child might be showing signs of giftedness.
