Overview
Welcome to Kindergarten Screening! This is a very exciting day for you and your child as you begin your journey into public school. The Kindergarten Team has worked very hard to make the screening experience a successful one for both you and your child. We wanted to make you aware of a few things that will occur on screening day and into the summer months prior to the start of kindergarten.
-
Kindergarten Screening is required by state law, it is merely a screening, not an entrance test. We welcome all children who are 5 years old by August 31st to Kindergarten.
-
Your child will be screened by one of North Andover’s kindergarten teachers in a one to one setting. Children typically enjoy the screening.
-
When it is your child’s turn, reassure them that you will be waiting for them when the screening is completed.
-
Following the screening the same teacher will briefly meet with you to review the results. If a relative or friend is escorting your child to the screening appointment, please let us know if we may share screening results with them.
