Nov. 3 - 7

Important Dates

-Magnet Awareness Week, 11/3-11/7 (turn in transcript requests now)
-Multiply decimals learning lunch
: Tuesday, Nov 4 (Lessons 19, 22, 23, 24)
 
-The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT 7) will be given November 18 to all 5th graders for GT middle school qualifications. The students will take the non-verbal section of the test. This is a paper-pencil test containing 60 questions. The CogAT is a timed test. Students will be given 30 minutes to complete the test. Test results will be sent to the parents and all HISD middle schools in early January 2015.
*Also, a reminder: If you wish to receive your child's transcripts for Middle School applications, please send the form back to school that went home two weeks ago. If you no longer have that form, please send a written note asking for the transcripts with your child's name on it. I will make sure it gets to the office.
**In regards to teacher recommendations through HISD: I will be filling out the online recommendation for ALL of my students so you do not need to request one from me. Once I have submitted the recommendations, all of the HISD middle schools will have automatic access to it. You do NOT need to submit a hard copy to the middle schools.
