- 5th grade families: Linked here GCPS Grade 5 Sense of Belonging and Inclusion Survey Fall 2023, please find a preview copy of the GCPS Sense of Belonging and Inclusion Survey that will be administered during school hours to students in grades 5-12 in the window of November 6-17. The purpose of the survey is to provide input on how GCPS is doing towards meeting our annual School Board Equity Goals established per policy JFHB/GBAA so that we can create an even better experience for all of our students. Any parent wishing to opt their child out of taking this survey may do so by emailing me at mreams@glnd.k12.va.us
- Gifted and Talented News: How can students be referred for gifted screening? A teacher or a parent may refer a child for gifted screening. If your child exhibits gifted behaviors and is performing above level, you or your child’s teachers may refer your child as a good candidate. The fall testing window is October 3rd through October 31st. Go to Goochland County Schools Gifted Page. Here you will find the Gifted Referral Process and the Initial Referral Form. This form is due to Randolph Elementary by 3pm on October 31st. Please contact egemmill@glnd.k12.va.us with questions
Let's make it a great week,
Melissa Reams
