General Meeting
This is our first PACE meeting of the year!!!
Thursday September 24, 2015
Our September meeting will focus on the Gifted and Talented programs available in Columbus City Schools this year. We will have Gifted & Talented Department staff to describe the different opportunities available to your students throughout the school year as well as the support being given to your students, teachers and staff. We will feature Gifted & Talented Department staff as well as parents discussing ways to support the Gifted programs in the schools.
Free childcare available (have your kids bring homework or a game)
Please Join Us for Parent Day!!!
2015 OAGC Parent Day
2015 OAGC Parent Day Flier *includes registration form!*
Please plan to attend the OAGC Parent Day on Sunday, October 11 from 12:30-6:30. A great jam-packed day, and it only costs $5!
First is our Division meeting–ALL parents welcome! Perhaps suggest carpooling from your area.
Stephanie Tolan will be the bulk of the afternoon. She will keynote and then we have a Q&A with her.
Then a parent/professional panel on how to be an advocate from the classroom level on up. The panel will be comprised of a professor from OU/parent, former Gifted Coordinator, OAGC Director Ann Sheldon and a parent or two.
We also have one of the authors from the new Fordham book called Failing Our Brightest Kids, a look into how the US is doing too little to educate students to achieve at high levels.
Parent Day is a great opportunity to network and learn from other families–and often the educational/game vendors have set up early so you can buy from them.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions and hope to see you on October 11! Angela Grimm, OAGC Parent Division Chair aecrowder@yahoo.com
