We are excited to usher in a brand new school year! Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to have you as part of our community. This year promises to be filled with exciting opportunities for learning, growth, and achievement. Please take a look at this back-to-school edition of Celebrating Gifted to learn how you can get involved in our parent advisory committee and how you can stay informed about all things GT across Fort Bend ISD.

Sincerely,

FBISD GT Department.

We are identifying each item of the newsletter with the grade band icon that it references:

The Gifted and Talented team is now recruiting parents to serve on the GT Parent Advisory Committee (GTPAC) for the 2024-2025 school year. The Gifted and Talented Parent Advisory Committee (GTPAC) is comprised of parents of gifted students in Fort Bend ISD who support the GT program offered by Fort Bend ISD. The GTPAC allows parents the opportunity to collaborate with the Fort Bend ISD Gifted and Talented Department and provide feedback related to Gifted and Talented programming. We will be conducting our GTPAC Membership Drive in 2024-2025 beginning on August 1st and ending on August 30th. If you are interested, please take a moment to complete the GTPAC Interest Form by Friday, August 30, 2024.

Beginning a new academic year is a terrific time to take stock of the previous school year and begin thinking about potential academic and affective (social/emotional) goals for your child's GT Learning Plan. In order to pinpoint areas for improvement and track their progress, GT students will set at least one academic and one affective (social/emotional) goal. This fall, the GT Learning Plan will be offered to 11th grade students. Students in grades 1–10 will continue to participate in the GT Learning Plan gifted service.
