Jeffco GT Vision:

We believe all students deserve an education that will provide meaningful growth academically, socially, and emotionally. See our Definition of a GT Student and our Board Policy on Gifted Education.
ALPs
ALPs at Foothills
Foothills Elementary follows the ALP Lifecycle
All students with ALP's will have an academic and affective (social/emotional) goal each school year.
ALP goals are tied to identified student strength areas.
ALP's are primarily managed by the classroom teacher in collaboration with students and parents.
