21-22 Parent Response Form Below

21-22 JCS Gifted and Talented Parent Response FormOne of the major goals of the Jessamine County Public Schools gifted/talented services is to provide each student with an opportunity to develop his/her strengths and talents. Although the work your child does in school provides information on his/her strengths and interests, activities your child pursues at home will help us develop ways to further enhance his/her school plan. For this reason, we are asking you to complete this parental response form.
