Pre-K Grading Guidelines

The Circle Progress Monitoring System is a technology-driven tool that enables a teacher to quickly assess a child’s progress in a particular skill area. This assessment is on the Commissioner’s List of Approved Prekindergarten Progress Monitoring Instruments. The Circle Progress Monitoring System’s reporting features provide snapshots of student skill levels at the individual, group, class, school, and even district levels. The reports use clear visual indicators to flag students below established benchmarks. Finally, recommended activities automatically provide the parents with activities that target specific skill areas. 

Students in Pre-K will receive a paper report of the  CIRCLE Assessment as a demonstration of progress at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year. This report will be explained to the parent at the parent teacher conference after the beginning of the year test. If the student does not progress in skills during the year the parent/guardian will be contacted.
