Welcome to Willis Junior High STEAM Academy for Gifted and Talented!

A gifted individual is a quick and clever thinker, who is able to deal with complex matters.  An individual who is autonomous, curious and passionate.  A sensitive and emotionally rich person, who is living intensely.  He or she is a person who enjoys being creative.

Some things we use in our classroom to help with communication:

• E-mail- We all send various reminders through e-mail. Please be sure your e-mail in Infinite Campus and Google classroom is correct and you have gone through the settings to receive notifications at the correct address.  

• Google Classroom- We are a Google school.  Students will be given a "school" google account to use the education suite.  Teachers post class agendas, presentations, assignments and other things in Google Classroom.  This is our way to communicate with every student.  Students are expected to follow all school rules while in a virtual environment.
