A Note From the Principal
Conferences will be held on January 26 and February 2 from 4:30-8pm. Your child's teacher will be in touch with you to schedule conferences.
Second grade parents - please be aware that your child will be taking the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) during the window of February 6-10, 2023. This Ohio-required whole-grade testing screens all students for potential gifted identification in Superior Cognitive Ability and Creative Thinking Ability, and it also provides information about students' instructional strengths and needs. Following the screening, individual student results will be sent home with your child. Please contact the school for exact testing dates and times. If you have questions about the assessment, contact megan.kinney@chardonschools.org.
Thank you,
Mathew Prezioso
