KRA Appointment Sign Up
Each kindergarten student, whether attending school online or in person, is asked to go to Firelands Elementary for a one hour appointment before the first full day of school to complete the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment. This Ohio Department of Education assessment tool measures your child’s knowledge and abilities in six areas: social skills, language and literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, physical well-being, and motor development. Your child will also have the opportunity to get to know his/her teacher and become acquainted with the classroom environment.
***By August 25th, parents of kindergarten students are asked to please go to
https://tinyurl.com/y67kb6s2 to sign their child up for this one-hour appointment on either
Tuesday, September 1, Wednesday, September 2, or Thursday, September 3.
If unable to sign up for this appointment electronically, please email Valerie Schuster by August 25th at
[email protected] or leave a voicemail at 440.965.5381 x2503.
When the adult and child arrive for the KRA appointment, please park on the NORTH side of the school in one of the parking spots designated with the child’s teacher’s last name. Please walk the child up to the side door (both wearing masks, please), maintaining 6 feet of distance from those also arriving. Just like at Kindergarten Screening, there will be two name tags and the adult’s phone number will be written on the child’s nametag, along with the color and make/model of the car. When the child is finished, his/her teacher will walk the student out to the car to meet the parent and answer any questions. While this will be a great opportunity for parents to meet the child’s teacher in person, another adult may bring the child instead. Parents will also have an opportunity to meet the teacher over Zoom on September 3 from 5:00 – 6:00 PM and September 4 from 8:30 – 9:30 AM. Links to each teacher’s individual Zoom meeting will be emailed to parents a couple of days prior to those meetings.
All kindergarten students will attend their first full day of school on Friday, September 11th.
