On Tuesday, December 10, 4th graders will take the Cognitive Abilities Test™ (CogAT®). CogAT measures students’ learned reasoning abilities in the three areas most closely related to success in school. The three separate batteries provide a broad perspective on each student’s learned reasoning abilities, identifying cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Many students in Brunswick City Schools have already taken similar tests to determine academic and cognitive ability for various reasons. If you feel that your child would not benefit from additional cognitive testing to help determine future programming and gifted identification in the areas of superior cognitive ability and creative thinking, you may opt your child out of the CogAT test using the link below. Opt-out forms must be submitted on or before December 3, 2024.

Don't forget to log in and view your child's grades on ProgressBook. As we approach the sixth week of the second quarter, teachers will communicate by email or a note home if your student (Grades 3-5) is performing below 65% or in Kindergarten-2nd Grade "I" for insufficient progress.

If you have any questions, please email your child's teacher.
