Students identified for gifted services will participate in the neighborhood school gifted program (Pull-out Program or TAG in the Regular Classroom (TRC) Program). Parents/guardians also have the option of applying to the TAG Center Lottery for participation in a TAG Center Program. The TAG Center School Programs offer a full-day advanced, enriched, and intensive instructional program to meet the unique and specialized needs of highly able students. Specially selected and trained teachers provide instruction. A TAG Center placement depends on a space-availability in accordance with lottery guidelines and program location is based on the student’s address.
