AIG Testing Grades 3-5
​
2020-2021

3rd Grade AIG Testing
All third graders are automatically screened for AIG identification during their third grade year.  At this time we are waiting for guidance from district leadership in regards to AIG testing in the virtual world.​

4th and 5th Grade AIG Testing
At this time we are waiting for guidance from district leadership in regards to AIG testing in the virtual world.  In the meantime, we are collecting test nominations for our committee to review.  You can nominate your 4th or 5th grade by completing THIS FORM.  But know that there is nothing scheduled or set in regards to online testing. 

Thank you for your continued patience while we wait for district leadership to work out the details for AIG testing during these unprecedented times. 

If you would like your student considered for AIG testing they must first be nominated.  This nomination must be in writing.  It can be a handwritten note to their teacher or an email indicating you want them nominated.  All nominations must be received by 4:15 on the last day of the nomination window.

Then, Olive Chapel ES schedules a School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBCGE) meeting.  At this meeting all nominations are discussed and the decision about whether testing is appropriate is made by the committee for each nominee. A nomination does not guarantee testing.  That decision is made by the committee.  The committee is made up of classroom teachers, administration, and the AIG teachers.  After that meeting, all testing materials are ordered and prepared individually for each student that will be testing.  A testing schedule is then set up.  All parents are informed of the committee's decision for their student.

​*Students can only be tested once during a full calendar year.  If your student was tested in the spring of 2020 they cannot best tested again until the spring of 2021.* 

*AIG testing for grades 4 and 5 only occurs two times a year.  Once in the fall and once in the spring.*

*There will be no nominations accepted after the last day of the nomination window.*

All nominated third graders will take the Iowa tests. To get automatically nominated your student must earn an 85% or higher on at least one of the CogAT tests. If a student does earn that score they can still be nominated by a teacher or parent.  If you wish to nominate your student to take the Iowa tests please contact your teacher or one of the AIG teachers.
