Plans for DeKalb County Schools 2014 Serendipity summer program
Every summer, the DeKalb County School District offers a day camp called Serendipity for gifted children enrolled in its public elementary schools.
Every spring, DeKalb County parents wonder when they are going to get the details of the program so they can plan their children’s summer schedules and get their kids registered. Two parents asked me about it this week, so I contacted DeKalb’s gifted coordinator, Donyell Atkinson. Here’s what she told me:
Serendipity 2014 is planned for June 16 to 19 at Brockett Elementary School in Tucker. The camp will meet daily from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
As for when parents can get full details and register, Ms. Atkinson writes, “Registration brochures will be distributed to the
local schools upon receipt from vendor.”
If you want to enroll your child, my advice is to check their backpack daily for the brochure.
Any update on this program and how to register?
If you have a child in DeKalb County, they should have brought home a registration form the last week of school. Unfortunately, I believe the registration deadline was last week. Best to call the gifted office if you want to find out if they have any spaces left. Maybe they would make an exception, given how late they sent home the information.
