Parents,
The fall semester parent-teacher conference is a wonderful opportunity to stay informed about your child’s growth and learning. These meetings go beyond a simple update on classroom academics, behavior, or group activities—they also focus on your child’s individual educational journey for the year.
At Bartlesville Public Schools, each gifted student has an Individualized Gifted & Talented Plan (GTIP). Think of the GTIP as a roadmap that outlines opportunities your child’s classroom teacher will provide to challenge and support them throughout the school year.
During your conference, you might expect to discuss how your child’s teacher is using strategies such as:
Differentiated curriculum – tailoring lessons to meet your child’s unique needs.
Curriculum compacting – allowing your child to move quickly through material they’ve already mastered.
Acceleration – moving ahead in subject areas when appropriate.
Enrichment opportunities – extending learning beyond the standard curriculum in creative and meaningful ways.
The GTIP highlights what the classroom teacher is ready to provide once your child has demonstrated mastery of grade-level concepts.
Additionally, the GATE pullout class at JP will be listed on the GTIP as one of the many opportunities available. GATE serves as an extension of the regular classroom, designed to broaden and deepen learning while expanding on the Oklahoma Academic Standards for each grade level. We encourage you to view the GATE project links below.

STEAM at GATE
We utilize the comprehensive STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) framework in our GATE class to provide a truly hands-on, interdisciplinary learning experience for your elementary student. We actively connect subjects through real-world challenges, empowering your child to think and create just like professional scientists, inventors, and engineers. Students use Science and Mathematics as their foundation for understanding, apply Technology and Engineering to design and build solutions, and rely on the Arts to drive the creative process, visual communication, and effective problem-solving. This approach ensures our young learners develop the critical and creative skills necessary to thrive in a wide range of STEAM-related careers and become the innovators of tomorrow.
