Assessment Assessment drives our instruction. Formal assessments include tests, short answer questions, multiple choice questions, true and false questions Informal assessments include group or individual projects, journal writing, oral discussions, and keeping notes or checklists on individual children.

Kindergarten Snapshot Parents/Guardians will be contacted to schedule a time in early May for their child to be assessed. The assessment will provide us with information about your child that will help us design instruction that is targeted to your child’s needs. The results will also inform you as a parent what skills need to be worked on over the summer.
