Operation Safe Outcomes
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office has launched Operation Safe Outcomes, a voluntary registry to help law enforcement respond more effectively to individuals' medical or developmental disabilities such as ADHD, Alzheimer's, Autism, Blindness, and Down Syndrome. Families and caregivers can submit important information to improve interactions with vulnerable individuals during emergencies. Learn more or register on the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office website.
CogAT/Iowa Testing
Second graders will take CogAT/Iowa testing on October 7, 8, 9, and 10.
These assessments are used as screeners for qualifying students to participate in our South Carolina Gifted and Talented Program (Challenge). The test results are also used to determine placement in the Charles Townes Center (CTC) at Sterling School for Highly Gifted students.
Although the primary purpose of these assessments is to identify students for the Gifted and Talented Programs, students’ results can be useful to teachers as they examine their instructional practices and can help them identify teaching strategies for all students.
