Meet World Compass Academy's newly elected Cub Council. Cougar Committee is WCA's student government. The committee meets at school to discuss issues, problem solve, and organize student events in our middle school. Officers are 6th-8th graders and Cub Council allows our 5th grade representatives an opportunity to have their voices heard. We are excited to see the wonderful things Cougar Committee and the Cub Council does for the students. |

CogAT Testing
DCSD is committed to implementing equitable practices to increase access to advanced/gifted learning opportunities. Based on state and national recommendations and requirements, we implement Universal Screening for students in 2nd grade (February).
2nd Grade Universal Screen
As part of this process, ALL students in 2nd grade not identified for gifted programming will take the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) the week of February 7th. This assessment indicates the level and pattern of cognitive development of a student in comparison to grade and age mates. These general reasoning abilities, which start developing at birth and continue through early adulthood, are influenced by experiences gained both in and out of school.
If your child is already identified for gifted programming, they will not participate in this universal screen testing. Your Gifted Education Facilitator will contact you directly with information about this process.
Kindergarten/ 1st Grade Gifted Identification Referral Testing
If your child is in K or 1st grade and you believe he/she needs evaluation for Gifted Identification and Services, you may refer your child for testing by initiating the Gifted Identification Process.
NOTE: Requesting this assessment automatically initiates the process to evaluate for Gifted Identification. For any questions or to refer your student, please contact Kate Parker at katherine.parker@worldcompassacademy.com.
