Preschool Assessment & Checkpoints

In our Preschool program, we use Teaching Strategies GOLD, an authentic, ongoing observational assessment system designed to support the development of the whole child. GOLD aligns with widely held expectations for preschool-aged children and enables teachers to gather meaningful data on each student’s growth in key developmental domains: social-emotional, physical, language, and cognitive. Families will receive formal progress updates three times per year, following each checkpoint period.

• Checkpoint 1: Notification on November 30th

• Checkpoint 2: Notification on March 8th

• Checkpoint 3: Notification on June 18th

Kindergarten Assessment 

In Kindergarten, we use a standards-based report card to evaluate student progress across academic areas. Growth is measured through a combination of classroom performance, participation, assignment completion, and assessment data. Each student maintains a portfolio that reflects their learning and achievement across the marking period.

• Marking Period 1: Ends November 16th (Notification on November 20th)

• Marking Period 2: Ends February 1st (Notification on February 5th)

• Marking Period 3: Ends April 14th (Notification on April 20th)

• Marking Period 4: Ends June 15th (Notification on June 18th)
