Parents of rising seventh- and eighth-graders in the Vicksburg Warren School District who want more information on the district’s upcoming gifted program for junior high school students may attend a meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday at Vicksburg Junior High School.

Scholastic Academy, which will be piloted in the 2012-13 school year, was approved by school board members in March.

The program will comprise students from Vicksburg and Warren Central junior high schools, but classes will meet in the Rosa A. Temple Annex at VJHS. Students will remain enrolled in their home schools and progress to aligned high schools.

Enrollment is expected to be capped at 80.

Parents may submit applications for enrollment until May 11.
