Services
 Jefferson School District 14J serves elementary TAG students in a regular classroom model. The classroom teacher makes appropriate modifications and completes a TAG plan for each TAG student’s rate and level of learning.

Middle and high school students have a variety of service options. These include, but are not limited to, advance placement classes, Honor’s Options, Honor’s Diploma, College Credit for some classes, modifications within classes and enrichment options. In all classes TAG students should receive modifications that address their assessed rate and level of learning. In some cases, the adaptation may be the advanced or above level course. This is determined as part of the students TAG plan.
