Overview and Local Gifted Plan

The goal of Gifted and Enrichment Services is to implement an in-class differentiation model for students in grades K-12. This approach is supported through collaboration among classroom teachers, enrichment coordinators, specialists, and administrators to provide the best support for identified gifted learners. You can view our local gifted plan at the following link. 
 
Cristina Dunfee serves as the K-12 Student Enrichment Specialist for all Floyd County Schools. To refer a student to the gifted and enrichment program, please contact Mrs. Dunfee directly via email, phone, or mail using the contact information below. Referral forms are also available in Spanish upon request.
