Students in second grade will be administered the CogAT and Iowa assessments as part of South Carolina's Grade 2 Gifted and Talented Assessment Program.
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 Towne Center (CTC) at Sterling School for Highly Gifted Students. Complete criteria for Challenge and CTC can be found on the Greenville County Schools website https://sites.google.com/greenvilleschools.us/gifted-talented/gt-criteria?authuser=0.
Testing will take place on the following dates.
| Test | Date |
| CogAT (5 subtests) | Tuesday, October 8th, 2024 |
| CogAT (4 subtests) | Wednesday, October 9th, 2024 |
| Iowa Reading | Thursday, October 10th, 2024 |
| Iowa Math | Friday, October 11th, 2024 |
Please ensure that your student is on time each day, and refrain from scheduling any early dismissals or appointments on test days.

Electronic Parent Notes
Our school is excited to offer electronic parent notes as an option to communicate with the school on the days your student is absent. This may be a good option for you if you often forget to send in a sick note, or if your child loses parent notes easily. Please go to the following link and fill out the information whenever your child is absent from school. Due to a change in attendance policy this year, parent notes are only accepted during the first 10 absences of the school year, and must be turned in within 3 days of the student returning to school. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Meghan Shroy at 864-355-3943.
