Good afternoon, Spring Hill Families!
What a beautiful weekend! I hope that you and your
loved ones had an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather this
weekend. My 3-year-old son, Wes, and I had the chance to explore many of
the fall festivals in the area and had an amazing time. Needless to
say, we have an abundance of apples, pumpkins, and collections of leaves,
twigs, and more scattered around my household. 😊
Thank you for your continued support.

CogAT Testing
In the fall, the Naglieri
Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT) is administered to all FCPS first grade students
and the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT-Custom Form) is administered to all
FCPS second grade students. These test scores are used for a variety of
instructional purposes, including AAP placement.
During the fall
testing cycle, the NNAT and/or Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) may also be
administered to students in Grades 3-6 who do not have an ability test score.
The CogAT will be given at Spring Hill during the week of October 1st.
NNAT testing is scheduled for the week of November 12th.
