Parents, is your daughter or son Gifted and Talented?
Under the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, the definition of a GT student is "Students who give evidence of high achievement capability in areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership capacity, or in specific academic fields, and who need services or activities not ordinarily provided by the school in order to fully develop those capabilities."
Therefore, you can see that GT students aren't only students with high grades but also individuals who possess other skills that may make them exceptional! 🏆🏅🎉🙌🔥💯🚀

Throughout our district and across our country, teacher assistants dedicate themselves unselfishly and ask for little in return. To those not familiar, teacher assistants are often tasked with some of the most challenging yet rewarding positions. They are truly classroom leaders who can build powerful and long-lasting relationships with teachers, administrators, and students.
Cleveland ISD extends a gracious and heartfelt THANK YOU to our TEACHER ASSISTANTS. Put simply, our community would not be able to provide the necessary level of care without you. One simple post cannot explain the value you bring to our schools each day. Our teacher assistants bridge gaps in learning, give individualized instruction, resolve crises, and allow our teachers to thrive.
Teacher assistants, WE SALUTE YOU!!! 🫡💯🔥❤️🙏
