3rd Graders in AIG

Hola! I trust everyone survived our latest blizzard!

I am happy to announce that our AIG Services Committee has met to qualify third grade students. This committee considered second grade teacher input and results from aptitude (CoGAT) and achievement (Iowa) assessments.

Aptitude:  reasoning ability measured by the Cognitive Abilities Test administered to ALL ACS third graders

Achievement:  academic ability in reading and math, measured by the Iowa Survey test administered to students screened through CoGAT or teacher input

ACS currently uses only nationally-normed data. Other data, such as MAP or EOG, are informal indicators used to suggest a more formal assessment for qualification.

Letters have been mailed to families in regard to qualification decisions. Please see me with any questions - plus, I'll schedule a meeting in the near future.

Permission to serve forms are included for those qualifying, so PLEASE return them to me ASAP.

I'd like to thank not only the Service Committee, but also our incredible third grade teachers for making time to support these efforts!!
