Each school site has extra-curricular clubs and activities that provide enrichment opportunities for all students. We encourage all students to participate in these opportunities.
In high school, high achieving students are encouraged to enroll in Honors classes, AP coursework, and perhaps the Early College program.
IDENTIFICATION
It is important to note that not all gifted children look or act alike. Giftedness exists in every demographic group and personality type. It is important that adults look hard to discover potential and support gifted children as they reach for their personal best. This is why we use a combination of assessments, work samples, parent and teacher observations to compile a portfolio to discover and support gifted students.
Universal Screening
All LUSD 4th graders are screened in the spring for possible identification for the upcoming school year.
