From August 12, 2026, through October 9, 2026, the Gifted & Talented Department is accepting referrals to screen for students who may exhibit gifted characteristics and benefit from current programming options in grades 1 and 3-12. Kindergarten and Grade 2nd are universally screened per state and local policy.

 

This program is designed for students who exhibit any singular or combination of the following abilities or potential to develop capabilities at an extraordinary cognitive level: intellectual, leadership, creativity, artistic, and/or academic achievement. 

Services are provided only if the Gifted and Talented Identification Profile reveals an educational need upon assessment and if the need is determined to not be normally served within the general education classroom and could be served by the Gifted and Talented program initiatives.

If you have any questions about the GT identification and assessment process and could not attend this meeting, please contact the Gifted and Talented Coordinator, Eva Baker, by email at ebaker@splendoraisd.org.

Dudes & Divas at the Door is a parent volunteer opportunity designed to give our Coleman Wildcats a warm, positive, and encouraging welcome as they arrive on campus each morning.

Our volunteers will:

If you are an approved parent volunteer, we would love to have you join us! We are looking for several volunteers to help us greet our Wildcats on the following mornings:

Come help us make sure every Wildcat starts the day knowing they are seen, welcomed, and valued! 🐾

We’ll be encouraging students to think about their choices, choose what is right, and act in ways that reflect the person they want to become. 🐾

This month, our students are focusing on the Capturing Kids’ Hearts character trait Self-Direct. Self-direction means taking responsibility for our choices, emotions, attitudes, and actions while working toward our goals. Students will be encouraged to think about where they want to go, make intentional choices, and take positive steps toward becoming the person they want to be.

Later this month, during Red Ribbon Week, we will put Self-Direct into action as students participate in activities and guidance lessons focused on making healthy choices, handling peer pressure, and staying drug-free. Students will explore how being self-directed can help them make positive decisions and take responsibility for the choices they make. At home, you can encourage self-direction by asking, “What is one goal you’re working toward, and what is one positive choice you can make today to get closer to it?”

As part of our comprehensive school counseling program, each student will have the opportunity to participate in two individual planning sessions with the counselor each school year—one in the fall and one in the spring. We will begin these sessions next week. These brief, one-on-one conversations are designed to help students reflect on their school experience, recognize their strengths, set goals, explore interests and future possibilities, and identify ways the counseling program can support them.

During these conversations, students may be asked questions such as:

These conversations are a wonderful opportunity for students to connect with their counselor and know that they have someone at school who is ready to listen, encourage, and support them along the way.

The Splendora High School Class of 1980 helped us give each of our 19 first-year teachers a $200 Amazon gift card to use as they begin their teaching careers. What a thoughtful way for Wildcat alumni to welcome the next generation of educators!

We’re grateful to the Class of 1980 for showing our teachers that the Splendora community is behind them from day one. Are you a Splendora alum who would like to give back? Reach out to us at educationfoundation@splendoraisd.org — we’d love to help you find a way to support today’s Wildcats!
