6th Grade Parents
On Wednesday, January 31st, 6th-grade students will have the opportunity to take the CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test) with their Den teachers. This test is different from most other assessments they have taken in the past, as it doesn't gauge what they know but rather how they learn. The results of this test can be very helpful for parents and teachers as they try to determine the way in which a child learns best, and what strategies would be helpful for that student when they are learning new content. It is very important that all students do their best on the exam because it can only help us teach them better. In addition to this wonderful data, some students may score high enough to qualify for the Gifted and Talented program. Parents will be notified in the event that this pertains to their child.
On the day of testing, all 6th-grade students will report to their Den teachers first hour. If they are testing in another location for any reason, they will be informed of where to go next. Students should not bring any electronics (smart watches, laptops, cell phones) to the class that day unless they are comfortable with handing them into their teachers to be kept in a secure location until after testing is completed. Also, 6th and 7th grade will be switching lunches that day to provide extra time to complete the test, so students are encouraged to bring snacks.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Farris or Mrs. Perez. Thank you!
