HiCap Assessment Testing Dates
The Highly Capable Department coordinates with schools to plan assessment schedules. Typically, dates are not determined until about a week before the assessment date range begins.
Dates may be rescheduled due to weather, school cancellations or delays, school requests, or other factors.
Makeup dates may be available after Winter Break. Specific dates will not be announced in advance as testing will occur as staff time allows. This makeup opportunity is offered as a courtesy and will likely happen on only one date per school.
