Assessment Assessment drives our instruction. Formal assessments include tests, short answer questions; multiple choice questions; true and false questions Informal assessments include group or individual projects, journal writing, oral discussions, and keeping notes or checklists on individual children.

Kindergarten Screener Lakeview will be administering a free kindergarten screener to all incoming students. Parents/Guardians will be contacted to schedule a time in early May for their child to be assessed. The assessment will provide us with information on the child to help us design instruction that is targeted to their child’s needs. The results will also inform parents what skills need to be worked on over the summer.
