Pre-Kindergarten Student Profile |
Dear Parents,
During the last few years, the Texas Department of Education has been reviewing what they want children to learn at each grade. The standards have become higher and higher. Plus, there are new types of tests being given to children at the end of third grade through high school. These tests look at each child's ability to think through problems and apply the information they've learned.
This page will give you information on what our teachers will cover with your child during this school year. Our goal is for every child to learn these skills, and to be very well prepared to go into first grade.
The goals you see in this booklet are based on the curriculum set by the state. It's called the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). If you would like to see a copy of the Kindergarten TEKS, please ask your child's teacher or the campus principal.
Also, you can learn more about the TEKS, and about the state testing program, by calling the Texas Education Agency at 1-800-832-1221 or using the web site: www.tea.state.tx.us.
It is important that you know that, at the end of third grade, your child will need to pass a reading test for him/her to be promoted into fourth grade. Every year, we will be looking at each child to be sure they are learning what they need to know to succeed. We have many special programs to assist children who are having difficulty.
We are very proud of our Pre-Kindergarten program. Above all, we want each child to love school and love learning. We hope that you will be proud of what your child accomplishes during this school year. Please don't hesitate to come to talk to us if ou have any suggestions or concerns.
