All second graders in TSD will be given the CogAT during the month of October. The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) measures both general and specific cognitive abilities: the ability to reason with words, mathematical concepts, and spatial/figural drawings. The test will be given in at least four sessions and makeups will be given for absent students. Any questions about the CogAT can be sent to Christine Davies, our Gifted teacher, at christine.davies@tsd.org.
