Header - Client: Exam Days

.

In this section, a client-side script is provided to offer information about the current day and the next school or exam day. This JavaScript program relies on input data concerning school holidays, days off, and exam days.

  1. Start of the School Year Date (updateStartOfYearDate): This variable can be modified to reflect the actual start date of the school year. For example, if the school year starts on September 1st, 2024, the client can change the date like this: 
    var updateStartOfYearDate = new Date("2024-09-01");
     
  2. List of Days Off (updateListOfDaysOff): This list contains pairs of dates and descriptions of days off. The client can add, remove, or modify days off and their descriptions. Each date should be in the format "YYYY-MM-DD", and the description can be any string. For example, to add another day off on December 1st, 2024, with the description "National Holiday", the client can do this:
    var updateListOfDaysOff = [
        new Date("2024-05-12"), "Parent-Teacher Conferences",
        new Date("2024-10-04"), "Fall Break",
        new Date("2024-12-01"), "National Holiday"
    ];
     
  3. List of Exams (updateListOfExams): This list contains pairs of dates and descriptions of exams. Similar to the list of days off, the client can add, remove, or modify exams and their descriptions. For example, to add another exam on June 15th, 2024, with the description "Mathematics Exam", the client can do this: 
    var updateListOfExams = [
        new Date("2024-05-13"), "Final Exam for Subject X",
        new Date("2024-10-05"), "Final Exam for Subject Y",
        new Date("2024-06-15"), "Mathematics Exam"
    ];

About the Gifted Program

The mission of Roanoke County Public Schools is to ensure quality learning experiences designed to equip all students with the skills to adapt and thrive in a changing global environment.

Beliefs and Assumptions

  • All children can learn.
  • The individual school controls enough variables to assure that virtually all children can be motivated to learn.
  • A school's stakeholders are the most qualified people to implement needed changes.
  • School-by-school change is the best hope for reform.


It is the mission of Roanoke County Public Schools that identified gifted and talented students are afforded the opportunity to participate in experiences which meet their wide range of needs and challenge their abilities.

Gifted and talented students are those students who possess unique talents and/or superior abilities that differ profoundly from those of their peers. Recognizing that gifted students come from diverse backgrounds, the identification process is multifaceted and relies upon a variety of objective and subjective data. In order for gifted students to maximize their potentialities and to foster their pursuit of lifelong learning, differentiated programming will be provided to nurture their academic and socio-emotional growth and development.

The gifted staff of Roanoke County Public Schools is committed to providing gifted learners at the elementary level with an instructional program, provided along a continuum, which develops critical, creative and evaluative thinking skills as well as algebraic thinking and creative problem-solving. At the middle school level, gifted learners will further develop problem-solving skills and, in addition, explore social issues with a focus on skills of leadership and effective communication.

Utilizing a cluster/resource model, the gifted staff works within the RCPS model of inclusion by collaborating with classroom teachers and school administrators to facilitate the implementation of appropriately differentiated curriculum and instruction strategies to challenge high-ability learners to realize their full potential.
