Canyon
View Midyear Administration of the Cognitive Abilities Test
In accordance with state requirements, the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) is offered at different times
during the year. The midyear
administration of the CogAt for Canyon View will be on Thursday, January 8, Friday, January 9, and
the following Tuesday, January 13, 2015. Parents of 3rd, 4th and 5th
grade students who are new to the school or HAVE NOT been tested in the past two years are eligible to test at
this time. Students who are
currently receiving gifted services do not retest.
The CogAT is used to identify students for gifted services and is
required for students who wish to be considered for Interdisciplinary Studies
(IDS). Permission slips are available in the front office.
It is
recommended that parents consult with the classroom teacher and/or gifted
specialist before requesting
testing.
Parents must request testing in writing by January 6th,
2015. Forms are available in
the school office or can be emailed to you by the gifted specialist (Liane
Cooper). The testing, which is done before
school at 7:15 in the IDS room, takes 3 sessions to complete. Students must
be present for all three days.
