• Schedule Testing and Group Observation

  TEST I, GRADES PK-K: Test I is administered individually by Collaborative Academic Testing Services (CATS). You may register your child at www.catstexas.com. Test results may be shared with other schools where the student is applying. There is $300 registration fee.

• Submit School Records Form to your Daughter's Registrar

  After you have submitted the online application, please locate the School Records Release Form in the parent portal checklist or by clicking here and click on 'Edit this Request'. You will have the opportunity to enter the email address of the school administrator who is responsible for grades, school records, or progress reports at your daughter’s current school. This will allow the school to upload your daughter‘s school records directly to the student application file. Note: if your child is applying to prekindergarten or kindergarten and the school does not issue school records, the form will allow the official to indicate that. This checklist item will be marked complete once the records have been received by Hockaday.  The deadline for the receipt of your child’s school records (Fall 2020, 2019-2018, and 2018-2017), if available, is January 29, 2021.
