JOINT ADMISSIONS TESTING PROGRAM
Parents of Applicants Moving to Atlanta:
The attached letter contains the instructions that a licensed psychologist in your community will

After circling the name of the JATP psychologist you have chosen from the JATP Brochure to
coordinate your child’s testing, give the attached letter to your local psychologist. Don’t forget
to include the sheet with the Atlanta psychologist’s name circled so that your local psychologist
knows to whom to send the results.
Be sure to send the JATP registration form and out-of-town test fee ($50.00) to the JATP
psychologist you have selected in Atlanta so that the test scores can be sent to the schools to
which your child is applying.
Sincerely yours,
JATP Psychologists
