Spring
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 spring administration is for Grades
K-1 only. Testing will be
offered in August for Grade 2, so students currently in Grade 1 may choose to
wait.
The testing, which is done before
school at 7:15 in the IDS room (Canyon View- 4th grade pod), takes two sessions to complete. Students must
attend both sessions.

Requests for
testing must be made in writing by Thursday March 12, 2015. Forms are available in the school
office or by email from me.
It is recommended that parents of primary students consult with
the classroom teacher and/or gifted specialist before requesting testing. Test results for such young students are
valid for a short time only and are NOT required for the identification of
primary students for differentiated instruction or extended groups in reading
and math in first or second grades. The assessments used to identify students for these groups
are given to all children at the beginning and throughout the year as a regular
part of the educational program.
