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"
    ];

AREA OF GIFTEDNESS: General Intellectual Aptitude (K-12)

Within the framework of the SOL curriculum, classroom teachers in grades K – 12 differentiate instruction to provide appropriately challenging learning experiences for gifted students. Through the use of flexible grouping models and other differentiation strategies such as tiered assignments, classroom teachers differentiate content, process and product based on readiness, interest, and learning style.
At the elementary level, the gifted resource teachers plan activities that work within the Roanoke County Schools Elementary Gifted Scope and Sequence. The Elementary Gifted Scope and Sequence outlines four strands of instruction:  convergent thinking, divergent thinking, visual/perceptual thinking, and evaluative thinking. Within those strands, instruction is continuous and sequential across the grade levels.
At the middle school level, the gifted resource teachers plan activities that work within the Roanoke County Schools Middle School Gifted Scope and Sequence. The Middle School Gifted Scope and Sequence offers five strands for instruction: group dynamics/communication, qualities of leadership, social issues, decision-making, and problem solving. Within those strands, instruction is continuous and sequential across the grade levels.
