CSC is a group that meets monthly at Bruce. It is comprised of a teacher, families of students, and community members. The goal of this committee is to advise the principal on recommendations regarding budget, staffing, events, etc. We would love to have more parents join that committee.

Back to School Night Recap

Gifted and Talented
Hello Bruce GT Families!
My name is Becca Glosser and I am the Gifted and Talented Program Coordinator here at Bruce Randolph Middle School. I am on campus on Tuesdays this school year and wanted to wish you a warm welcome (or welcome back)! Our acceleration program is in full effect and a majority of GT students are currently engaging in above grade level curriculum in literacy and mathematics.
For those students requiring advanced learning plans, we are in the process of developing those and finalizing your student’s goals. We hope to create meaningful goals that will challenge your student in their strength area(s) while also maintaining a high level of support from staff in our community. All Advanced Learning Plans (ALPs) will be finalized by October 30th and a copy will be shared to the preferred primary email address on file (unless you have specified otherwise). Please reach out directly if you have any questions about your students identification status or strength area(s). Our program plan for this school year is in the process of being updated and will be posted on our website (Gifted and Talented page).
I wanted to share this flyer for our 24-25 Family Series sessions. All sessions are an excellent opportunity to learn more about what it means to be gifted and talented and are open to students and their families grades 5th-12th grade. Looking forward to another great year as a Bruce Grizzly!
