The kindergarten readiness assessment looks at several areas of readiness, including academics, sensory, speech and language, behavior, self-help tasks, and social-emotional preparedness.  Since Kindergarteners vary widely in their incoming skill levels in all these areas, the more we know about them before the school year starts, the better we will be to meet their needs.

The kindergarten readiness assessment is voluntary. We want to utilize the information collected to balance our classrooms so that our teachers can best meet the needs of your student.

Sign-up for kindergarten readiness testing (will be emailed to you by the registrar)

Help prepare your child for kindergarten by practicing the skills outlined below:

Your Kindergartener must be five years old by August 15th.  Kindergarteners must have been born on or before this date in order to meet the age requirement to enroll in Kindergarten.  We know that some students will fall after that date and not be admitted.  This cut-off date is consistent with Academy District 20 and the Colorado Department of Education.

No, at this time we do not offer a half-day kindergarten program.

Kindergartners have three recess times (morning, lunch, and afternoon).  Lunch recess is 20 minutes and the other two are 15 minutes.
