Gifted/Spectrum

Attention StingRay Parents:

·        In Middle School, this program is called SPECTRUM.

·        If a student was in the Futura program in 5^th grade at LCPS, they are automatically enrolled in Spectrum for 6^th grade.

·        If a student was found eligible for gifted services in another county in Virginia or another state, they still need to complete the LCPS Gifted eligibility process.

·        A Parent/Guardian Referral Form can be obtained from the LCPS website: Click Academics, then Gifted Services; scroll to the bottom of the page on the website. Print, complete the form, and submit to the Main Office for Heather Jackson, the Gifted Resource Teacher.

·        The LCPS county-wide Fall deadline for parent/guardian referrals is October 4th and Spring Deadline is February 7th.

·   SHMS Gifted Resource (Spectrum)  Teachers:

Heather Jackson & Lyndria Bland

·        Any students who have been attending LCPS or students new to LCPS MUST go through the same eligibility evaluation process. 

·        The eligibility process ususally takes the entire 1^st semester to complete.  Students who are found eligible in the Fall, will begin Spectrum in the spring semester.

·       Parents are invited to the Gifted Information Night

 in the LCPS Adminstration Building for information about the eligibility process.
