Deer Creek Elementary


 

Enrichment Programs

Gifted Program Parent Guide
 

Deer Creek Elementary takes pride in our enrichment program designed for all students. Extended opportunities are specifically structured for grades third through fifth. An expressions class has been added this year for our first through third grade students. Patricia Johnson and Debbie Vaughn coordinate and oversee the gifted program and enrichment opportunities. This pullout program along with its many extensions is only enhanced by parental involvement.

The program has a three-part focus:

  1. To provide and coordinate enrichment opportunities for ALL Deer Creek Elementary students.

  2. To provide teachers with materials that will challenge all students in problem-solving and critical thinking.

  3. To provide special pull out opportunities for students identified for the gifted program.
