Good Afternoon 2nd Grade Families,

CogAT still has not fixed the problem with our student ID numbers. We are going to postpone the 2nd grade test until all numbers have been fixed to ensure there are no testing errors. We are hopeful they will be able to test by the end of October. We will keep you posted, and once IDs have been fixed we will schedule a date and send out that information.

Thank you again for your flexibility, patience, and understanding.

Good Morning 2nd Grade Parents,

Unfortunately during this mornings GT screener there was an error with student ID numbers. District has asked us to pause testing incase information is lost when correcting the Student IDs in the CogAt testing platform. They are working on it now, and we will test it out this week to ensure it is good to go. Our new plan is to complete the GT Screener after intersession once we have confirmed all errors have been fixed.

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding.
