Early Kindergarten
Dear Families,
Thank you for your interest in the Crane School District Early Kindergarten Assessment program. We are excited to support you as you explore this opportunity for your child. The purpose of this process is to ensure that each child is developmentally ready for early kindergarten and set up for success across all areas, including social-emotional, academic, and independence skills. This process is designed to determine if a child demonstrates the developmental readiness needed for success in a kindergarten setting. As part of this process, multiple sources of information are reviewed to ensure decisions are equitable, consistent, and developmentally appropriate. To begin, please complete the Early Kindergarten Assessment Request Form using the link below. This form will serve as both the interest form and parent agreement. Please complete the form here:
As part of the form, if your child is currently attending a preschool or childcare program, you will be asked to provide an email address for their teacher or provider so they can complete a brief feedback form. Once your form is submitted, a member of our Preschool Department will review your information and contact you with next steps, including scheduling if appropriate.
Please note:
• This assessment is for internal district use only.
• Results are not shared with families and will be sent directly to the selected school site.
• Approval does not guarantee enrollment.
• Only one assessment may be completed per calendar year.
Our goal is to ensure that every child is placed in the environment where they will be most successful. If you have any questions or need support completing the form, please feel free to reach out.
We look forward to working with you and your child!
Sincerely,
Early Kindergarten Assessment Team
