Once a wolf, always a wolf!
2nd Grade COGAT Testing
The Wylie Independent School District will be administering the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) which identifies strengths of students in verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal assessments to students in the second grade this spring.
These assessments measure the overall cognitive processes and strategies that enable students to learn new tasks and solve problems. All three assessments are designed to test general inductive and deductive reasoning abilities.
These tests provide the district with additional information to better serve students. CogAT scores will be considered when determining placement in advanced academics and will be used in the Gifted and Talented identification process.
2nd grade students will be taking the test February 3rd, 4th, and 6th. The assessment will be given on iPads or Chromebooks in the classroom.
Parents and teachers will receive a copy of the results once completed. If the data supports the need for further screening for the Gifted and Talented program, parents will receive a letter from the GT teacher.
GT nominations are also accepted. See flyer below for more details!
Notes from the Nurse
We strongly urge parents to keep their children home if they have any flu-like symptoms such as a fever greater than 100°F, sore throat, cough, body aches, vomiting or diarrhea until they are fever-free or without signs of a fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. In addition, please encourage frequent handwashing at home, as well!
Your help is critical in keeping our schools healthy this flu season!
