Kindergarten Screening
In November, applicant families receive a Preschool Evaluation Form to be filled out by their child’s preschool. All students applying to Kindergarten will be invited to attend a Kindergarten Screening in January/February. Our screening helps us understand a child more fully and is considered in the context of the parent application, interview, and teacher evaluation form.
