Gifted and Talented
ALPS PARENT
GROUP
McKinney ISD is fortunate to have a dedicated, enthusiastic parents'
advocacy group for gifted and talented students! The combined
efforts of ALPS and the McKinney ISD staff are helping the ALPHA
program continue to move forward to meet the needs of these
students.
MISSION
STATEMENT:
The mission of ALPS is to support
the MISD gifted and talented program; to provide a chain of
communication between ALPS, the community, the schools, and the
Board of Education; and to create expanded opportunities for gifted
students in MISD.
MEMBERSHIP:
Membership in ALPS is open to all
persons interested in the mission of the organization. Annual
memberships are $15; members dues go toward programs and information
for parents, teacher training, student scholarships, and
administration. The $15 may be waived due financial
constraints.
Dues can be mailed to the following address:
ALPS
P.O. Box 2175
McKinney, TX 75070
MEETINGS:
General meetings of ALPS will be
held regularly throughout the school year, which begins in August.
All parents of ALPHA students will be notified of the meeting dates
and times via e-mail, campus newsletters, and fliers.
Informational programs are scheduled throughout the
school year so that all parents can be better informed about the
needs of gifted and talented children, parenting these children, and
about the ALPHA program at the different levels within M.I.S.D. You
are encouraged to contact ALPS about their programming and
membership.
