March CogAT Testing for Second Grade Students

Next week brings the start of the CogAT testing for second graders who are being considered for gifted services in the district. The testing consists of three, one-hour sessions. The gifted specialist at each school has worked with the second grade team to schedule each of these sessions over the course of the next week and a half. Due to scheduling conflicts, one or two of the testing sessions may have to roll over into the following week, but all will be completed by mid-March.
