When can I refer my child for TAG services?

The referral period is from late November to early December.  A 
flyer will be sent home with your child during the month of 
November to inform you of a TAG Parent Information Meeting.  This 
meeting will take place in the evening in the Robertson library 
and is meant to answer any questions that you might have 
about the TAG Program.

How can I help my child with their school work?

Help with organization--thoughts and ideas, materials, time 
allotments. Help with facts reviews and drills. Certainly don't 
let your child be overly frustrated, a question or suggestion can 
get him or her on the right track again; but especially for 
problem-solving problems and projects, the work should be the 
student's. This helps the teacher gauge the student's grasp of 
the concept on the continuum of understanding. Although parents 
are not expected to teach the child a concept at home, 
reinforcement might be helpful .
