NNAT TESTING (First Grade)
All first grade students will take the online version of the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test Third Edition (NNAT3) on Wednesday, March 8, 2023. The NNAT3 is a nonverbal measure of general intellectual ability. The test evaluates a student’s reasoning and problem-solving skills through the identification of patterns involving geometric shapes and pictorial designs. The test is designed to assess ability without requiring the student to read, write, or speak. Students are not expected to know the answers to all questions and will be given opportunities to practice sample items before taking the test. The NNAT3 is an abilities test, so children are not expected to study or prepare for the test the way they would for an achievement test.
If you have any questions about this test, please contact the Advanced Academics Resource Teacher (AART), Melissa Graham, or School Test Coordinator, Lea Fadden, at Crossfield.
Portrait of a Graduate
One of the POG Attributes we focus on at Crossfield and across FCPS is being an Ethical & Global Citizen. What are some of the characteristics of a good Ethical & Global Citizen?
- Respectfully acknowledge the perspective of others, all over the world
- Help their community
- Contribute to taking care of the environment
- Understand how to contribute as a citizen

How can you support your child’s Ethical & Global Citizenship skills? Share examples of how you used these skills during your day or within your job. Provide specific examples and explain how these skills helped you, your community, and the environment.
