We hope you are all enjoying the start of the school year. We are having fun getting to know each of your children better. This week we are starting to do assessments with each student. This will help us teach your child from the level the are comfortable with right now. There is no need to worry, as this is only a starting point! They will change and grow so much this year! We will send home this simple initial assessment around the first week of September. This assessment is mainly focused on the academics, ie: shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. Later in the year we are planning another assessment that will also address social and emotional development. Please feel free to ask us any questions!
