Parents and guardians are always welcome and encouraged to attend classes with their child/children to make the most of this wonderful experience. Alternately, join other grown-ups for Gifted Community Enrichment (GCE). Each Saturday through our GCE sessions, The Super Saturday Program offers knowledgeable presenters, Q&A, and facilitated discussion to provide you with insights into life with gifted children, resources, and contacts.
- Anyone with an interest in gifted education is welcome to come attend GCE, including parents, guardians, teachers, counselors…
- There is no cost and no registration required to attend.
- GCE is provided as a service to the community.
- Sessions will begin at 9:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., 15 minutes after students begin morning and afternoon classes.
TSSP is a rare haven for parents and guardians of gifted children where we can talk with one another to compare notes about joys and challenges, make connections, learn what other schools are doing regarding gifted services, and simply relate in ways that others cannot. Through GCE, we actively foster this supportive communication.
For parents and guardians with a student attending class, we require attendance for the first 15 minutes of the morning or afternoon session the first week. We need this time to communicate key information about the term.
For questions on GCE, please contact messagecenter@supersaturday.org.
We look forward to collaborating with you to help our community face the challenges of educating our children.
