A GOLDEN PERFORMANCE FOR LCSD PRE-K PROGRAM
We are thrilled to share that our LES Pre-K achieved a perfect score of 100/100 on the end-of-year Kindergarten Rate of Readiness.
MKAS2: 25/25 points
CELA: 25/25 points
CLASS: 50/50 points
Congratulations to our amazing Pre-K students and their fantastic teachers. You’ve truly earned your gold!
The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) has established a rate of readiness for each
collaborative site as part of the Effectiveness Evaluation of Early Learning Collaborative and
Other Pre-K Classrooms. The rate of readiness is a score assigned to each site through the completion of specific evaluation tools that assess how children grow academically and developmentally throughout a school year and how the classroom environment and teaching practices support children’s learning.
We've set sail! Thank you to our families, community, OPD, and LCSD for getting us rolling this morning.
As we get used to traffic patterns, the flow will move even better. Thank you for your patience and assistance as we get our students to their buildings safely.
