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.
Fifth grade students are re-evaluated using
multiple criteria for possible inclusion in the
gifted and talented program (QUEST). The criteria
include a parent and teacher checklist, group
ability test, the district standardized test, and a
review of the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and
Knowledge (NJ ASK 4).
The pull-out 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.
Students participate each year in convocation
experiences with identified students from both
middle schools and with students in similar
programs from surrounding
communities.
