Lower Primary Exit Criteria Policy-Kindergarten and 1st Grade

Each primary grade level has developed an “Exit Criteria” document that lists the minimum skills needed to successfully advance to the next primary or intermediate level. These documents will be included in the opening day packet. There will be a signature sheet at the bottom of each exit criteria document, which will be signed by the parent or guardian stating that they have received the appropriate exit criteria. In addition, the criteria lists will be printed in the school’s agenda book.

The exit criteria will be sent home at the beginning of the year for the parents to review and sign. In addition, at the end of each nine weeks, the exit criteria will be sent home as well stating the skills the student has mastered. These will be continually reviewed for student achievement purposes. At the beginning of the third nine weeks, teachers will again review exit criteria for each student to determine if a student is not mastering the required skills and possible retention letters will be sent home at that time. During the final nine weeks, a consensus will be reached regarding retention of the student who did not meet the required exit criteria.

If a parent has a question concerning his/her child’s progress, a review committee consisting of the child’s parent(s), a team of teachers, and the principal will be available upon request. If the review committee cannot reach a consensus, a vote will be taken to determine the best placement for the child.

Placement of any student with an IEP concerning reading, math or writing will be determined by the Admission and Release Committee.

Other district-wide assessments could be added or removed to this criteria

If criteria has not been met, the child will be referred for retention at teacher discretion. The exit criteria requirements must be mastered by the end of each grade level.
