Hi-Cap Testing Update
http://www.cloverpark.k12.wa.us/Admin/HiCap.aspx
Highly Capable Program Testing Follow-Up
Over 300 students district-wide are to be commended for completing aptitude testing for possible placement in our Highly Capable Program in March. Third- and fourth-graders who meet the cut score will receive one of the 26 slots at either Clarkmoor's or Oakbrook's self-contained classrooms. Fifth-graders who meet the cut score will be placed in the Advanced Studies Placement Program at their middle school.
Scoring of this testing is done by Riverside Publishing in Illinois, and results are expected back sometime in May. A district placement committee consisting of a principal, guidance counselor, psychologist, classroom teacher, and district administrator will then meet to review and rank-order the results, establish a cut score, and make placements. In addition to the aptitude testing scores, Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) and state assessment results from the prior year are also considered.
All parents will be notified via letter no later than July 15 of their child’s placement determination. Now is a good time to double-check with your current elementary school to ensure that your mailing address is up-to-date.
More information about our Highly Capable Program is available on our district website at http://www.cloverpark.k12.wa.us/Admin/HiCap.aspx. For questions, contact either your school principal, counselor, or the program coordinator (who may be reached at 253-583-5150).
