Spectrum provides services for identified students in grades 6-8.  Spectrum is scheduled for a half block on a rotating day basis.  The program is designed to meet the needs of gifted learners with an emphasis on higher-level thinking skills, problem-solving, and decision-making.  The program provides students with opportunities for self-assessment and reflection on the demands and responsibilities of the gifted learner.

Here is a video overview of the Spectrum Program and the Eligibility Process from the Spectrum Supervisor, Mrs. Wendy King.  

Please contact Lisa Dolinich , the Spectrum Teacher at Trailside Middle School, with questions or to request a copy of the Permission To Evaluate form if your child attends Trailside.

If you would like your child to go through the Spectrum Eligibility Process this spring, the deadline for submitting a Permission to Evaluate form is March 1, 2024.
