We had all ten Semantics Team members participate on December 11th at Cory Elementary and we had FOUR members in the TOP TEN out of almost 50 -- Angelina Holm was THIRD PLACE and the youngest Top Three finisher in the DISTRICT!!!  Click here for more details.
A huge congratulations for ALL of our Semantics Team members! They worked hard and I am SO PROUD! Happy Holidays!  Heather Wise, Semantics Coach/GT Teacher

  

Did your child/children take the CogAT (HGT) test this Fall?

If so, the DPS GT department should be sending out results over Winter Break. Please watch for them and let me know if you have any questions. Also, a request...I will not receive official results from the GT department until at least February so if you share them with me before then, that will help me start making support plans for the remainder of the school year. Thanks so much! Happy Holidays! Heather Wise, GT Teacher (heather_wise@dpsk12.org)
