  6. Test Information • Kindergarten Acceleration means your child will “test out of” the full year of kindergarten curriculum and instruction. • In other words, the child has already acquired a great deal of knowledge and academic skills and can demonstrate that through testing. • Test content is based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Kindergarten. http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148 • There are no study materials available.

  7. Acceleration Requirements • Students must score 90 % or above on the district approved assessments in Reading, Language, and Mathematics. The Language portion includes responding to a writing prompt. • No partial credit will be given.

  8. Social/Emotional Readiness Kindergarten Acceleration to first grade goes beyond academic performance. • In addition to being academically prepared, it is important that your child be socially and emotionally ready for first grade. The progress of a student accelerated to first grade will be monitored during the first six weeks of school. A recommendation can be made to place the child in Kindergarten at that time.

  9. Testing Day • On the day of the test, please arrive for check-in between 8:15 and 8:20 a.m. Testing will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Parents will wait in our building and will be required to sign their child out before leaving. • What to bring on the day of testing: A well - rested child Water bottle Light jacket • Small snack
