Dear Parents,

I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself and express my excitement about working with your child this year. I love being the gifted support teacher because I care deeply about each one of my students. I am invested in your child being successful academically, socially, and emotionally. I use a variety of strategies to address students’ needs. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner that always has room to grow and be an even better teacher. I welcome new ideas/suggestions that help me be the best I can be for my students, your children.

Laurel Highlands School District's gifted services provide a variety of opportunities for the gifted student. The goal of our services is to challenge the student appropriately in thought, work and ability in academic areas. Students will receive enrichment in their regular education classroom and in the gifted support classroom located at Laurel Highlands Middle School.  

If you ever have any comments, questions or concerns, I am available for phone calls and meetings (by appointment please) each day. To schedule a meeting, you may contact me via crute@lhsd.org or 724-437-2865.

I am looking forward to another great year in gifted!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Crutchman
Gifted Support
