GIVING TREES

Our Giving Trees will be set-up by Wednesday (12/6) at the main staircase and in the office. Children may bring in gently used or new hats, gloves, mittens and scarves. These will be placed on the trees and then given to families in need of these items. We will be collecting until Friday, December 15th.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPTIONAL TESTING FOR

IDENTIFICATION OF GIFTED STUDENTS

You may request that your child be tested on the Cognitive Ability Test (CogAT). If you wish to have your child participate in this round of testing, all requests must be made through the below online link by December 6th. If you have a child in 2nd and/or 4th grade, they will take the test during school with their class. For other grade levels, we are offering an optional testing opportunity. In order to decrease disruption to your child's instruction, this testing opportunity will take place on Saturday, December 9, at Maple Dale from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm for all four elementary buildings.

Please note it is the parents' responsibility to provide transportation to and from Maple Dale on morning of testing. Also please note Sycamore cannot use kindergarten or first grade scores for gifted placement.
