Tulip Grove Shares The PGCPS Mission

To provide a great education that empowers all students and contributes to thriving communities

Vision

It is our vision that Tulip Grove Elementary will be a world-class school where students are consistently challenged to exceed state and national norms. This is inclusive of all students regardless of academic ability and learning style and rate. To address the unique needs of our Talented and Gifted students, instruction will be differentiated to ensure students have the opportunity to engage in critical thinking, project-based learning, and inquiry based learning. We will also determine students academic needs through the use of formative and summative assessments. This information will be used for instructional decision - making to provide our TAG students opportunities for compacting, independent study, choice boards, and extensions of grade level content. Addressing the social emotional needs of our TAG students is also a major component of our Talented Gifted program. This will be realized through well-being check-ins to ensure students are engaged with learning and not overwhelmed by learning.

This vision will be realized with the teamwork of all stakeholders. It is our vision that each student will acquire the skills necessary to not just compete in but to excel in a global economy. As the world changes; so does the need for increased technology integration. Therefore, we believe that technology integration must be maximized in every classroom to address the unique needs of gifted learners. Further, we are dedicated to providing a climate of high expectation where our gifted students and the faculty that teach them are valued.
