Don't Forget! There is a Hays CISD GT Parent Schoology Group AND a Hays CISD GT Parent Facebook Group You Can Join!
Whether your student is a virtual learner, or an in-person learner, they are using Schoology! Parents have access to their student's page, but we want you to know that you also have the ability to join the GT Parent Schoology Group too! This is a great place to find more resources and information that you might need!
Please join the Schoology group for parents of Gifted/Talented students using code PPW5-P8P8-ZK3B2.
Do you have a gifted and talented child? Are you looking for some ideas and support from other parents to help you understand your child’s social and emotional needs? If so, please join the Facebook Group created by Jennifer Storm, a parent at Elm Grove. She created this support group and would love for you to join and share ideas.
