The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Public School System
is committed to providing learning opportunities
which will stimulate all children while
simultaneously meeting the unique needs of the
academically talented student.
All fourth grade students are re-evaluated using
multiple criteria for possible inclusion in the
gifted and talented program (QUEST) as they enter
the middle school. The criteria include a teacher
checklist, group ability test and a review of the
NJ Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) in
fourth grade. The program is conducted within the
student's own school. Students meet by grade level
on a rotating schedule.
The QUEST program is committed to providing a
curriculum which emphasizes the use of thinking
skills through independent and group activities.
These activities will prepare our learners for
meaningful participation in both the classroom and
community by valuing their individuality,
recognizing their skills, and instilling in them an
appreciation of their ability to contribute to
society.
Additionally, after school workshops/clubs will
be provided for all fifth grade students who
demonstrate a talent and/or interest in a variety
of areas (for example, Science Olympiad, Math
Club).
