Talented and Gifted Education at the Wallkill Central School District is made up of two unique components: Enrichment and SNAP.

 

Enrichment activities are designed to meet the needs of students in each school.  These activities vary from one school to the next.

  

2012-2013 District Enrichment Facilitators:

 

Leptondale: Joe Zupan

Ostrander: Eileen McQuiston

Plattekill: Edie Duncan

Middle School: Leanne Cerbone

High School: Juliette Reale 

The Student Needs Assessment Process, or SNAP, focuses on students identified through guided referral and standardized assessment.  Students identified via SNAP receive individual Student Learning Plans (SLPs) and tailored enrichment activities.
