According to the state definition, gifted children and youth are those who perform at high levels in academic and creative fields when compared with others of their age, experience, or environment. These children and youth require services not ordinarily provided by the regular school program. Children and youth possessing these abilities can be found in all populations, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor. Any individual with knowledge concerning a student’s abilities may refer a student to be considered for an evaluation to determine if the student qualifies according to the state criteria. A referral to the Gifted Referral Screening Team (GRST) may be made by contacting the special education coordinator. The GRST will review information related to the student’s aptitude, performance, and characteristics to determine if an evaluation for gifted eligibility is warranted. |

PARENTS: You have been bombarded with nutritional labels and with media reports of what you need to eat. Your life is hectic, and meals are often on the run. Opelika City School System's Child Nutrition Program strives to keep choices well balanced and nutrient packed so parents can feel less stress if dinner is a fast food choice. We do not fry in our schools to help our students learn to like more nutritious choices. In addition, the Surgeon General of the United States has issued a call to action to prevent and decrease overweight and obesity. Our Child Nutrition Program strives to offer meals that support this effort. |
