📚 Attention 2nd Grade Families! ✏️
Our 2nd graders will be taking the CogAT and Iowa Assessments from October 20th–24th.
🔹 CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test)
This is an aptitude test designed to help identify each student’s individual strengths and needs. It is not an IQ test, and there is no way to study or prepare for it. However, good listening skills are very important during the assessment.
🔹 IOWA Assessment
This test includes a variety of reading and math questions that measure a student’s ability to problem-solve and apply what they’ve learned.
📌 Please make sure your child is at school and on time each day during testing. A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast can also help them do their best!
Please see the information letter sent home in folders yesterday for more information.
Thank you for your continued support! 💙
