Three Important Events for the Gifted Community

Three great chances to make a difference for gifted children are happening this week!  These are excellent opportunities to become more involved in advocacy for gifted learners and to find out more about what gifted students need to succeed.

Superintendent Community Coffee
Wednesday, October 9, 2013 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Parker Room at the Administration Center

RCS Superintendent Bob Shaner will give a presentation on a particular topic, followed by informal dialogue.

Often sparsely attended, these meetings provide an excellent opportunity to share your experiences and advocate for increased gifted services district-wide.

Rochester Community Schools Strategic Planning Community Event
Saturday, October 12, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM at Stoney Creek High School Auditorium

Rochester Community Schools is embarking on the development of a dynamic strategic plan and is encouraging all community stakeholders to attend this important Community Planning Event!

Keynote speaker Will Richardson, parent, blogger and author of Why School, will start the morning with a thought provoking message about what schools look like in a 2.0 world. Following his presentation, participants will have the opportunity to brain storm big ideas and goal areas that will help establish a foundation for building the kind of globally competitive education our students need and deserve.

RCS’s strategic plan will be created from input here and the followup meetings will influence our district for the next decade.  If you want increased options for your gifted children, this is an important event to attend!  Register at http://rcsstrategicplan.eventbrite.com/
