Optional Mid-Year Timepoint

Beginning in the 2024-2025 school year, VKRP is excited to announce the availability of the VKRP assessment system at mid-year for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten.

This is in response to requests from program, school and division leaders, teachers, and families across Virginia who have expressed interest in understanding how to better monitor students’ progress and growth across the school year, and to better align with literacy assessment practices.

For the first time, all Virginia school divisions will have data on children’s skills upon kindergarten entry beyond literacy. We are well on our way to becoming a national leader in innovation and impact in early education.
