When students are identified for services in elementary school, they start with Talent Development. In this program, students will be clustered in homeroom classes with teachers trained in gifted education who use differentiation strategies to support their learners. Additionally, Talented and Gifted Specialists work with the students to develop critical thinking skills using the Think Law curriculum, provide social and emotional learning, exploration activities, and complete Advanced Level Products and Performances (ALPPS) that are showcased at the end of the year with schools from their vertical learning community.

English Language Arts Enrichment (ELA) is for students in 3rd - 5th grade that qualify for ELA. One of the TAG specialists pull students twice a week for 30 minutes to complete either a "book club" or an extension of what students are learning in class.
Students who are identified for gifted services in math will participate in both an accelerated and enriched math curriculum. The accelerated math services begin in 3rd grade. In each year, grades 3 through 6, the student will complete a year and a half of math curriculum. Students who participate will have an adjusted STAAR schedule for math.
