- Pre-K Students- Remember, Pre-K students must be assessed before the end of the school year. Beginning of the year and end of the year data must be submitted to the ECDS State Reporting System by July 18, 2019. Teachers should take this opportunity to assess each student's overall growth for the year. Teachers should be strongly encouraged to share this information with parents.
- Kindergarten Students- Beginning of the year data should have already been submitted into the ECDS System for Kindergarten Students. No EOY State Reporting is required.
Dyslexia Screeners-
- First Grade Students should have already been screened for Dyslexia at the end of January.
- Kindergarten students must be screened for Dyslexia before the end of the school year.

Dyslexia Screener data should be documented and kept in District files for auditing purposes.
