The Meramec Valley R-III School District is dedicated to providing a quality education for all students and recognizes that they are unique in their needs, interests, and abilities. By the nature of their exceptional abilities, gifted students need a differentiated educational program that provides learning activities that are commensurate with abilities. The Odyssey program has the responsibility to enrich and enhance the total educational program so that all students can be effectively educated. It encourages students to assume greater responsibility for recognizing and fulfilling their own affective and cognitive potential. Gifted education fosters intellectual ability, task commitment, creativity, and critical thinking.

Homeless Information

The term "homeless children and youths" are students:

• who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence,

• including:

  • children and youths who are sharing the housing of others (known as doubling-up) due to the loss of housing, economic hardship, or similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to a lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals;

  • children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as regular sleeping accommodations for human beings;

  • children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings, and

  • migratory children who qualify as homeless because the children are living in circumstances described above.

If the residence is not fixed, regular, and adequate, it is considered a homeless situation.

The McKinney-Vento Act also recognizes unaccompanied youth who are homeless. According to the act, an unaccompanied youth is a youth not in the physical custody of a parent or legal guardian.

Adopted from the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, Title VII, Subtitle B, Section 725(2) as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) 2015.
