Weber School District's Kindergarten Entry Assessment:

Weber School District’s Kindergarten Entry Assessment is designed to inform various stakeholders, such as parents, teachers and leadership, on the academic and social-emotional development of entering kindergarten students. The information gained from the assessment will be used to:

● Provide insights into current levels of academic and social-emotional performance upon entry to kindergarten.

● Identify students in need of early intervention instruction and promote differentiated instruction for all students.

● Analyze the effectiveness of programs, such as extended-day kindergarten and preschool.

● Provide opportunities for data-informed decision-making.

● Identify effective instructional practices or strategies for improvingstudent achievement outcomes in a targeted manner.

Structure and Setting:

Weber School District’s Kindergarten Entry Assessment is designed to be administered by a trained assessor in individual testing sessions (trained assessor with a single student).

Testing Window:

The testing window for the Kindergarten Entry Assessment will begin three weeks before the first day of school for the district and will continue through the first three weeks of school. This provides a six-week testing window. If students enroll after the testing window has closed, that child is not expected to be tested, nor should data be entered into the system.
