Welcome to Mrs. DuFault's Gifted Education / ELA Class, 2022-2023
Hello Students and Parents!
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! This page will be an important hub for information, especially at the beginning of the year. As the year progresses, Schoology will be the most important place for my students to get information, as it will include homework, assignments, notes, online texts, and the daily PowerPoints, along with links to enrichment opportunities for gifted students.
To complete many of those assignments, students will need to be familiar with Microsoft software, which can be accessed through their Office365 account. My "Gifted Links" page in Clever is another important place for student reference and has direct links to all the applications and websites we will be using with our assignments this year. Students can access Schoology, the Amplify textbook, and Office 365 from their personal Clever log in using the same user name and password as their computer login at school. Please see my "Student Technology Help" page on this website for directions (with pictures) and troubleshooting ideas for using these and other technology in my classroom.
Remember to check grades regularly through Skyward using your assigned username and password. Parents and students should each have their own separate usernames / passwords. If you need assistance with your Skyward login information, visit or call the front office at 615-904-3825, ext. 0.
Grade-Level Pages: On each page, you will find information about your grade level. I also have posted a Remind101 code, which I will use to send important information throughout the year.
Technology Help: Go here for step-by-step instructions and pictures for getting into the technology we use in my class.
Enrichment Opportunities: Click here for a link to Vanderbilt's Programs for Talented Youth, a robust enrichment program for gifted students.
Lowe-Gomez Scholarship: Gifted students in Rutherford County are eligible for the Lowe-Gomez Scholarship, which can offset the cost of enrichment programs for gifted students. More information and the scholarship application are on my Schoology page.
