[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school is one of the last to have KG orientation and the EEK assessment. I'm hoping that my child will do well on the assessment considering she knows the school, wants to go to KG, and has an older sibling in KG at the same school now. Ugh...if we were in VA, it would be a non-issue. Their cut-off for at least some counties in Sept. 30!

The KG orientation is May 23-24, but we won't know for another week. It'll be June by then, and I'll have to come up with a backup plan.

I'll post again to let you know what I learn from my child about the MCPS assessment![/quote]

What back up plan.  If you kid doesn't make early entrance, they wait another year and go in the proper year to KG.  It's not hard.  Your backup plan is childcare or private K or preK.[/quote]

OP here. Not being a frequent visitor to this website, I'm surprised at the snide comment above!

My child gave me quite a detailed account of the assessment but after giving it some thought, I feel it's unfair to the school to reveal what was asked. Since I said I would post again, here it is generally:
-fine motor
-literacy/knowledge of printed materials
-following directions
-early numeracy/math (numbers/shapes)

I know you want specifics, but I really feel it's not right. They said we'd know in about a week. I really hope she gets in b/c she and older sib are very close/best friends, and it'll be good for them to be in the same school together through the years. They learn so much from each other. But if not, being the oldest has some advantage. There are good things about both outcomes!
