[quote=Anonymous]You won't need to worry about grades. In kindergarten and 1st, the "grades" aren't letter grades. Instead, it is language about "demonstrating", "progressing," "not yet demonstrated," etc. This is helpful to see where your child may have some needs to work on at home. Not necessarily academic topics, either. The topics are things like following directions, for example. That is also why homework isn't anything to worry about for the first few years. There is no graded work in kindergarten and first grade. They start to give grades in 2nd grade at TPES (maybe everywhere, I don't know). There are plenty of parents at TPES who are no screen or low screen families, but also plenty who use screens regularly. It's a mix. You will be able to find other parents who have the same no screen approach, but your child may make friends with families who have different ideas about screens. Since you asked for tips, hosting playdates at your house can help make sure the playdate is about play and not watching TV together. In addition, there are some good after school programs that pick up from TPES (walking) and have an outdoor component. I think Nature Lab is one. [/quote]
