Kindergarten Beginning of Year Testing Schedule
To ensure a smooth transition to a full school day, the elementary school requests that the first three days of school for kindergartners be designated as testing days. During those three days, students will receive small-group instruction to help teachers identify academic gaps and areas of proficiency already mastered. This approach will help teachers to meet each student where they are in their academic journey and plan accordingly for the year ahead.
