The state of Utah has asked all kindergarten classrooms to host entry and exit assessments for their students. Our beginning-of-the-year testing will take place on August 21-23. A sign-up sheet with available appointment times will be posted at my classroom on Back to School Night.
This is an exciting opportunity that will help me tailor my instruction in order to meet the specific needs of my students. It will also highlight each student’s academic growth and development upon completion of the exit assessments in May.
The kindergarten schedule for the first week of school will be as follows:
August 21-23
- Kindergarten Entry Assessments
- Parents will schedule their own appointment time
- Kindergartners will come in for a brief meeting with their teacher on one of the three testing days
- No kindergarten classes will be held
August 24
- The first official day of kindergarten (with a shortened schedule)
- Students are invited to bring an adult to stay with them for the entire class time
- AM classes will attend from 8:25-9:55
- PM classes will attend from 12:10-1:40
August 25
- Regular kindergarten hours will begin
- AM classes will attend from 8:25-10:40 (normal Friday schedule)
- PM classes will attend from 12:10-2:25 (normal Friday schedule)
I look forward to seeing you!
