HOMEWORK/CLASSWORK

Gifted students in grades 2-8 may not be required to make-up classwork missed when they are scheduled to be in the gifted classroom. Gifted students shall be held accountable for demonstrating mastery of concepts and information on regularly scheduled tests. It should be noted that some gifted students will not be high academic achievers for a variety of reasons. It is not reasonable to expect intellectually gifted students, artistically gifted students, and/or creatively gifted students, by virtue of having been granted one of those gifted eligibility rulings, to make all A's and B's. The exception is academically gifted students in grades 9-12 who have been ruled eligible based upon exceptionally high academic achievement in the pertinent area being served.
