NJSLA Information
CogAT Information
In the coming weeks, the CogAT Screener will be administered to Second and Fourth Grade students. If your child is in Second or Fourth Grade and already took the CogAT Screener in the Fall of 2022 because they were new to the Fair Lawn School District, they will not retake the assessment. The CogAT Screener consists of verbal/picture analogies, number analogies, and figure matrices. Data gathered from this assessment will enable us to plan effective programs for our students and make decisions regarding academically talented programs.
Gifted & Talented Services Ad Hoc Committee
The Fair Lawn School District seeks committed parents to serve on our Gifted & Talented Services Ad Hoc Committee. This ad hoc committee will aid the district in developing policies and procedures that comply with the new Strengthening Gifted & Talented Education Act (SGTEA). Participants support research-driven, evidence-based improvements to our gifted and talented services continuum. Committee members will also receive training on gifted and talented education.
Please complete the survey—using the link below—if you are interested in participating.
