Mission
The DeForest Area School District believes in meeting the needs of all students. It does recognize that there are students who have extraordinary potential, well beyond their peers, in academic, intellectual, creative, artistic, and/or leadership areas. This potential may emerge at varying times throughout a student’s educational experience and can most often be met in the classroom and departmental structure with effective teaching and learning practices. The District is committed to providing accommodations for students at a rate and to the extent appropriate to their abilities.
Vision
1. Much of the gifted child's educational programming will occur within the regular education classroom, and
2. The gifted child's programming will reflect the child's specific identified needs. Identification focuses on determining students' specific educational needs and, from that information, learning opportunities will be developed to best challenge and stretch each student.
