ELEMENTARY ASSESSMENT DATES -
Please check out the dates for the Elementary Assessments!
5th & 6th Grade Universal Screen
As part of this process, ALL students in 5th & 6th grade not identified for gifted programming will take the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) the week of November 3, 2025. This assessment indicates the level and pattern of cognitive development of a student in comparison to grade and age mates. These general reasoning abilities, which start developing at birth and continue through early adulthood, are influenced by experiences gained both in and out of school.
Gifted Identification Referral Testing
If your child is in grades 3 and 4, and you believe they need evaluation for Gifted Identification and Services, you may refer your child for testing by initiating the Gifted Identification Process.
Please reach out to Heather Stinnett @ hlstinnett@dcsdk12.org (CME GT Facilitator) as your first step.
The process:
Request CogAT testing for your child by completing the Referral for Gifted Identification linked HERE. (Please reach out to Heather Stinnett before completing this step.)
NOTE: Requesting this assessment automatically initiates the process to evaluate for Gifted Identification.
Upon receipt of this form the Gifted Education Facilitator will connect with you to discuss next steps in the gifted identification process.
