The district started mailing out TAG identification letters this week, so I encourage new families to mark your calendars for the TAG 101 meeting on Wednesday, May 8 at Marshall High School in the evening. More details to come.
This is the first meeting for parents of TAG students identified in the 2012/13 school year. It's your chance to hear from district staff, discuss what services to expect in and out of the classroom, and discuss rights and responsibilities. District TAG head Dr. Kimberly Matier has many plans for improving the TAG program in PPS and she will share some of her news in May.
I'm also very happy to answer any questions you may have about the TAG parent advisory committee's work and advocacy at the state, district and school levels. (amasondoan@gmail.com). Specific classroom concerns about challenge, rate & level should be discussed with TAG coordinator Kiya Masunaga (kmasunaga@pps.net), principal Lurie (rlurie@pps.net) and A.P. Pamela VanDerWolf(pvanderw@pps.net).
We are still hoping to use any remaining TAG budget for a Saturday Academy class or two this spring! If you are interested in helping, please email me or Virginia LaForte (virginialaforte@me.com). Thank you.
