ALL Kinders will attend from 8:30AM - 12:00PM (NOON).
- Assessments will take place in the afternoons during this week.
- You may sign-up for these once you have received your child's classroom assignment.
- The assessments last about 30 minutes.
- Most kids enjoy having this personal session with their new teacher. This is not scary. It is a chance for the Classroom Teacher to get a little one-on-one time with your child in an effort to better determine areas of strength and areas that need focused effort. This assessment directly informs the instruction in the classroom.
- They may be asked to write, to count, to "read", to sort, etc.
