What's Target?

       In Target                                     

      we strive to be . . .

               Responsible Citizens by being considerate

               Creative Problem Solvers by brainstorming

and researching problems 

Logical Problem Solvers by analyzing problems
Communicators by speaking and writing clearly
Researchers by collecting and presenting information
Self-Directed Learners by performing at our optimal level
Producers of Excellence by embracing mistakes and revising work
Critical Thinkers by using our powers of reasoning

We are scholars having fun learning!

 

What is the Target Curriculum?

Gifted services must meet Quality Core Curriculum objectives while providing differentiated curriculum based on the assessed needs of the students.  This gifted curriculum includes a more elaborate, complex, and in-depth study of major ideas, problems and themes than would ordinarily be available in the regular classroom.  The curriculum blends instruction in math, science, social studies and language arts into units that examine central themes, issues, problems and topics.  

 

Continuation Criteria

A student must:

  • Maintain satisfactory progress, defined as E, G, O, or S in grades K-3 (reading, English, mathematics, science and social studies) and as a minimum average 80% in grades 4-5 in the core subjects of reading, English, mathematics, science, and social studies. 

  • Demonstrate at least 14 out of the 20 assessment indicators on the Target Progress Report. 

Will my child have to be retested every year?

No, however they must meet the Continuation Criteria.  Criteria for continued placement shall include satisfactory 
performance in both regular education and gifted classes, as well as provisions for a probationary period.
