Gifted and talented students need differentiated curriculum and instruction and support services in order to fully develop their cognitive, academic, creative and artistic abilities or to excel in a specific content area.  Students in New Richmond Exempted Village Schools who are identified as gifted receive services which are dependent upon the grade level of the student and his or her specific needs.  The district employs gifted intervention specialists, which are placed at the buildings equally, and services are maintained at each building in accordance with the district service plan.

      Whole-grade acceleration, subject acceleration, early entrance to kindergarten, or early graduation may be utilized in cases in which the student’s advanced needs cannot be met in their current grade level.  This may be instituted after the acceleration process has been completed and the acceleration committee has determined the best placement for the student.  Please refer to the district acceleration policy for more information.
