Note to parents: As I was cleaning my classroom,I noticed that some students 
left a flyer that they were to take home concerning testing on Monday, and 
Tuesday.  This test (OLSAT 7) is a verbal and non verbal measure of abstract 
thinking and reasoning ability. The practice test will be on Monday, and the 
actual test will be taken on Tuesday. This test is given every year to third 
grade students in order to assist schools in making placement decisions for 
the Talented and Gifted Program. Please make sure that your child gets plenty 
of rest the night before , and have a healthy breakfast.
Thanks,
Dorothy Curtis
