Gifted & Talented Learning Options

Advanced math classes prepare students for jobs and for college. Students are given more responsibility for their learning while being guided by their teacher. They develop a deeper understanding of mathematical practices and learn how to apply those practices to the real world.

Students in Advanced math classes are expected to complete their homework assignments on time, study for tests and quizzes, and be active participants in class discussions and activities. More rigorous assignments are given.

Parents can assist their children by providing an appropriate place and time to complete homework and study. Utilize the resources at www.bigideasmath.com.

In addition to advanced advanced coursework in Math and English Language Arts, students also have the ability to earn high school credit in Foreign Language.  Earning this credit in middle school opens doors for a wider variety of career and college-related classes by the time they reach their junior and senior years of high school.  Roseville Middle School also offers gift and talented option during Homeroom for students whose previous academic record and test scores warrant placement.  Those options include advanced writing for 6th grade, forensic science for 7th grade , and for 8th grade an introduction to engineering, and a liberal arts focus on music and art history.

These homeroom classes are in addition to the required class in that subject matter. Students who are below grade level in reading or math will receive one of those supports in their homeroom, students who are near or at grade level will receive support in the writing process and vocabulary use.  To maximize your child’s chance for success in homeroom, it is important to make sure they are on time for school each day
