March Meeting Moves to New Location, New Time

We've needed to change locations, the result of a double-booking error. Thankfully, we are able to keep with the same date at a new space provided by St. Croix Catholic School.  We also have a new time, adjusting by 30 minutes in hope that this will make it easier for families to transition from evening meals and work / enrichment obligations.  Download NEW March flyer.

Topic | Tested: Helping Parents Make Sense of the Scores
When | Tues. 3/27, 6:30 - 8:30pm
Where | Social Hall, St. Croix Catholic School / St. Michael's in Stillwater
Address | 611 3rd Street S., Stillwater -- use rear entrance from parking lot
Cost | FREE for MCGT members, $5* per non-member family  

Statewide and national standardized testing sets eligibility for gifted programs, grade acceleration, and more.  What do the data really show and how do you use it to guide decisions about your child’s education?  SCVMCGT welcomes Wendi M. Schirvar, Ph.D., Educational Psychologist, who will lead conversation about the ins and outs of standardized testing and how to decipher what the results mean.


Who | Parents, caregivers, educators
Kids | School-age kids welcome! Hands-on activities with Visiting Wizards - kids will meet in adjacent space

*The full amount may be applied toward new MCGT member registration at the meeting; cash or check payable to MCGT, in support of local chapter operations.
