Your starting checklist
Turn the published process into clear next steps.
Confirm current instructions with the district before submitting. Bloomfield does not predict placement or reproduce protected assessments.
01For Grade 3, ask the teacher when the annual CogAT will be given and when results will arrive.
02For Grades 4-8, submit a parent referral or ask a teacher or administrator to refer before the annual testing window.
03Confirm the appointment because the district offers the assessment only once each year.
04Request the written eligibility result and ask how the CogAT and any other evidence were used.
05Enroll in the appropriate after-school enrichment and ask the teacher about current classroom differentiation, events, and summer options.
