Kindergarten WaKIDS (“first three days”)
WaKIDS
State full-day kindergarten programs participate in a program called Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (WaKIDS). WaKIDS is part of a transition process that helps to ensure a successful start to your child’s school experience. There are several components to the WaKIDS program.

~Family connections – During the first three days, teachers will meet with each kindergarten family to get to know them and learn about the student’s interests and needs. We will have many opportunities designed to get to know our new kindergarten students and their families. Our goal is to introduce school to your kindergartener and lessen the anxiety around starting school. Watch for more information from your child’s school about schedules and details as the start of school approaches.

~WaKIDS whole child assessment – This is not an assessment in the sense of a “test” students take. In the fall, teachers observe each child during classroom activities and record data about what each child knows and can do at the beginning of the school year. Knowing more about your child’s skills and strengths as they enter kindergarten helps teachers and parents work together to support student growth. The WaKIDS assessment observes six areas: social-emotional, physical, cognitive, language, literacy and mathematics.

~Early learning collaborations – Our schools are working to build relationships with early learning providers to support smoother transitions into school for our students.
