As I mentioned at Curriculum Night, grade 3 students will be participating in the TDSB’s Universal Screening Process. All grade 3 students will take the Canadian Cognitive Abilities Test, a standardized group test of ability. The results of this test will be used by school personnel to gain a better understanding of your child’s learning strengths and needs, and to provide educators with key information for differentiating instruction to improve student achievement.

The grade 3 students in our class will be completing the assessment in our classroom next week. The tests will be completed in 3 sessions. We will be preparing and testing first thing in the morning on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

It will be essential that all students arrive on time for school those days, as the assessments are completed online in a group session.
