FAQs

My child has been selected for a W.I.N. Math Enrichment class with Mrs. Hafers.  Is this the same thing as Math CREATE?

No, these are two completely different offerings.  Math CREATE is part of our official Gifted & Talented program, of which there are three - ELA, Math and Science. Students must meet a majority of criteria (various assessments, at a summary level,  and teacher recommendations) in order to be invited. Math enrichment (sometimes referred to as Math WIN) is a shorter, more focused class dealing with a particular math subject or standard, like adding fractions, or multiplying two digit numbers.  Students who have shown a mastery of this particular skill (chosen by teachers and department supervisor for that period), are invited to work with Mrs. Hafers once a week on more advanced problems related to the same skill or standard.  Every 6 weeks, another “topic” is chosen, those students are identified, and a different group of students, who have shown mastery of “that” new topic or standard, could be invited to participate.

Is W.I.N. pull-out or push-In support?

Students who are selected for Intervention and Enrichment support are pulled out of their classrooms to work with an Interventionist or Enrichment teacher. During the W.I.N. Period, all students are receiving support from a staff member.

What If I did not receive a letter on the Genesis Parent Portal?

This means your child is currently performing at-grade level and s/he will receive support from their Classroom Teacher. Please view the "Criteria" tab for more information regarding the selection process.

What If I have questions regarding my child's involvement during the W.I.N. Period?

Please reach out to your child's Classroom Teacher. All Classroom Teachers have the ability to recommend or decline a student's eligibility for Intervention or Enrichment. However, recommendations must meet the criteria selected by the Curriculum Team.

I do not know my child's recent assessment scores. How do I find them out?

Please reach out to your child's Classroom Teacher. They can share your child's recent assessment scores. You can also ask during Parent Teacher Conferences to see your child's assessment scores for LinkIt!, DIBELS, TCs, etc.
