K-1 Academic Checklist
K-1 Academic Checklist Comments:
Teachers are encouraged to select comments from the recommended list when completing their student’s academic checklists. This list has been provided for teachers to ensure equal opportunity while allowing teachers to make decisions that best match the student’s present levels of performance in the areas of reading, writing, math, science, social studies and handwriting. The K-1 academic checklist comments spreadsheet has been added to the GPS under K & 1 grade level assessment tab: K-1 academic checklist comments.
