Student Shadow Program
Spencer Center for Gifted and Exceptional Children is thrilled to open our 2024-25 Shadowing program. The program provides an opportunity for prospective students to shadow a Spencer Center student throughout the school day.
We schedule visiting students to shadow a Spencer Center student in the RISING grade level. If you prefer to have your student shadow in their current grade level, please sign up for that grade level and indicate that in the comments.
- Lower School Shadows rising into grades 3 & 4 arrive at 9:15am and are to be picked up at 12:30 p.m.
- Lower School Shadows rising into grades 5 & 6 arrive at 9:15am and are picked up at 3:00 p.m.
- Upper School Shadows, rising into grades 7-12, arrive at 9:15am and are picked up at 3:00 p.m
Would you like your student to visit the Wolfpack? We’d love to host them!

2. Before arrival, complete the emergency medical form and bring it with you:

3. Pack a lunch and a drink for your student, or have your child’s CPS lunch PIN number printed and with them (it can be used in our cafeteria).
