SPAN January Meeting

SPAN (Synergy/SAGE Parent Action Network) will hold its next meeting on Thu. Jan. 9 at 7pm in the WestWood Media Center.  Join us with questions about your own gifted child or gifted education within the district.  We’ll host an open discussion about whatever issues/questions parents bring to the meeting; other parents can often provide great support and answers!  Our February meeting on Mon. Feb. 3 will feature speaker Dr. Karen Rogers, who will present on how to meet the needs of twice-exceptional children both within and outside of school.  Twice-exceptional children are gifted and face some other challenge (ADHD, learning disability, etc.).  Questions?  Want to be placed on the SPAN email list?  Contact Apryl at span.priorlake@gmail.com .
