A Note from the Principal
Parents of 2nd grade students, 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. If you have questions about the assessment, contact megan.kinney@chardonschools.org.
Thank you,
Rhonda Garrett
Principal, Park School
