SIGNET (Students Involved in Gifted Needs in Education Today) is a center-based program for students in grades four and five identified as gifted in Intellectual Ability and/or Specific Academic Ability. Students receive direct services geared for their strengths in both language and mathematics.  The Center’s curriculum is designed to extend, supplement, and enrich the county curriculum.  One of the strengths of this program lies in its responsiveness to student interest and abilities.  Another important aspect of the program is its emphasis on developing independent study skills and problem solving techniques.  Mr. Kevin Fahy is the SIGNET teacher for Ellis, Loch Lomond, and Mullen Elementary Schools.  He can be reached by email at fahykj@pwcs.edu or by phone at 703.365.0287.
