White Oak Elementary REACH Program

2^nd and 5^th Grade - Oct. 12 - 30th - you can refer your child for testing during this time period.  Please understand that a referral does not guarantee testing, but guarantees a review by an eligibility committee.  When you request a referral, your child’s teacher will also fill out a referral.  The scores will be averaged and if your child meets the county standard, he or she will be tested.  You will receive a letter if your child did or did not meet the standard.  All referral forms must be requested by Oct. 30^th.  If your child does move to the testing stage, he or she will be evaluated sometime between Nov. 2^nd – 20^th.

4^th Grade - Currently, we are reviewing 4^th grade CogAT scores.  These scores are added to your child’s ITBS scores from last year.  If your child meets the standard for mental ability with the CogAT, 96%ile in one of the areas, then he or she will be automatically referred.  We do not have an open referral period for 4^th grade because all students were given the CogAT and ITBS.

3^rd Grade – ITBS scores will return soon and we will be reviewing them.  If your child made the state standard on the ITBS, 90%ile or higher in Total Math, Total Reading, or Composite, then he or she will be referred to an eligibility team.  The ITBS scores will be added to your child’s 2^nd grade CogAT scores.  You will receive consent paperwork before the December holiday break if your child needs further testing.

New Students – If your child is a new student to Coweta County, he or she can be referred Oct. 12^th – 30^th.
