Sabin TAGAC is Official!

Sabin Tag Advisory Council (TAGAC) was officially voted on yesterday at School Site Council.  Please reach out if you'd like more information on how to get involved and advocate for your child.  Here is our mission statement:

TAG Advisory Council

Sabin School

Established to support the needs of TAG Identified students at Sabin School.  Goals include:

• ·         Serving as a resource to newly identified TAG families.
• ·         Supporting teachers and TAG coordinator in sharing and implementing ideas for TAG plans (both Building Plan and Individual TAG plans).
• ·         Helping to make the TAG identification process at Sabin more transparent and equitable.
• ·         Serving as a liaison between District TAGAC, Sabin Administration, Parents, and Teachers.
• ·          Supporting the district TAG goals:  “PPS TAG Department is charged with creating and establishing a program to meet the unique and diverse needs of all students. For our community to continue to move forward; changes are necessary. One of these critical shifts is in our interpretation of gifted education. The prevailing, historical context of gifted education is based on the predominant view of the majority culture. By establishing a neighborhood program at each school, we may be able to better address the needs of TAG students AND provide an opportunity for development and the nurturing of potential students.” (PPS TAG Program model 2015-2016)

Establishing Sabin TAGAC Members: Meghan Whitaker, Jenna Cooper, Kim Ford, Helen Kilber, Dana Anderson

Sabin TAG Night 6-7pm *Tonight* 10/28

TAG night at Sabin has been rescheduled for Wednesday 10/28 from 6-7pm in the auditorium.  We are working on getting a middle schooler to hang out with younger kids during the meeting, as many 8th graders are trying to earn $ for their DC trip.  Children are welcome as long as they do not distract too much from the meeting.  Please come and meet Ms. Schachner, our new AP and TAG coordinator.  Hope to see you there!
