Gifted Advisory Committee

The Gifted Advisory Committee (GAC) is comprised of parents, BSD staff, and BSD administrators who represent the various interests of the gifted program. Its goal is to support the program, through reviews, identifying and (where possible) fulfilling needs, and offering administrators their recommendations for changes and improvements that are beyond the scope of the committee's abilities. 
 
Chairperson:
Teresa Janes, Supervisor of Gifted Education
 
Board Members: 

Who do you contact when you have a question or concern about some aspect of the gifted program? The answer is the same whether your student is in the gifted program or a mainstream classroom.
 
If the question is specific to a class, your first contact should be the teacher of that class. E-mail is the preferred way to contact Bellevue School District teachers. The protocol for addresses is last name followed by first initial (as one word) @bsd405.org. If e-mail is not an option for you, or to make sure the teacher received your e-mail, send a note via your child or ask the school’s secretary to place one in the teacher’s box.
 
If your question is more general to the school, or if the teacher is unable to help you, your next contact should be the school principal. 
 
If you need to discuss the program, please contact the Supervisor of Gifted Programs or the program secretary: 
  
      Teresa Janes, Supervisor, janest@bsd405.org, 425-456-4196
      Carolyn Seipp, Secretary, seippc@bsd405.org, 425-456-4136
