Dear Parent or Guardian:
Jefferson County Public Schools are slated to offer the CogAT or Cognitive Abilities Test in October. The CogAT is used as a part of the Advanced Placement or Gifted & Talented Program. If your child is already identified as Gifted & Talented and is currently participating in the Advanced Placement Program, they have the option of re-testing for a higher score. If a higher score is not obtained, the new test score will not affect the student’s Advance Program status.
If
you are interested in your child being tested for possible placement in the
Advanced Program for the next school year, please use this form to indicate
your interest and to give KMS permission to take the AP screening test (CogAT). The screening test will be administered
during October 4th for 8th grade and October 11th
for the 7th grade. If this
is something you would like to see your 7th or 8th grade child
participate in, please sign and return the permission slip on the back.
If
you would like to know more about this screening test, you can visit:
If

upcoming school year, at that time.

you,
