We also use a variety of assessments throughout the year to check on your child's progress.
We use:
-QPA (Quick Phonics Assessment given every month)
-Heggerty Assessments (Given 3 times per year)
-Reading/Writing Assessments through Benchmark (Given every month)
-Iready diagnostics in both reading and math which is also given 3 times per year (this is a state level assessment done on the ipad).

You child has lots of ways to showcase their learning!
TS Gold is another big assessment that is state level. This assessment helps teachers determine kindergarten readiness. Teachers will collect informal data on your child and report it on TS Gold and share the report in you around October.
