NEWS: Upcoming CogAT Testing - 6th Grade
Dear Parents/Guardians,
DCSD is committed to implementing equitable practices to increase access to advanced/gifted learning opportunities. Based on state and national recommendations and requirements, we implement Universal Screening for students in 2nd grade in February and in 6th grade in November.
Gifted Identification Referral Testing
If your child is in grades K, 1st, 3rd, 4th, or 5th and you believe they need evaluation for Gifted Identification and Services, you may refer your child for testing by initiating the Gifted Identification Process.
NOTE: Requesting this assessment automatically initiates the process to evaluate for Gifted Identification.
Please request CogAT testing for your child by completing the Referral for Gifted Identification linked HERE
Upon receipt of this form the Gifted Education Facilitator will connect with you to discuss next steps in the gifted identification process.
For more information, please visit our Gifted Education at Heritage website or email our Gifted Education Facilitators, Lisa Busman lisa.busman@dcsdk12.org & Jill Montoya jill.montoya@dcsdk12.org
