TK Assessments
Welcome to the TK Assessments Guide! Here, you'll find an overview of the assessments our TK students receive and how to complete them.
Overview:
The TK assessment process is designed to track students' developmental progress throughout the year. Our TK students receive two primary assessments:
Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) – This is an assessment tool used to evaluate students' developmental progress across multiple domains. Teachers gather observations, document student learning, and rate various measures to track growth over time. This assessment is conducted twice a year, using Learning Genie.
TK Report Card – This is managed in Aeries, DRDP ratings transfer automatically for fall and spring. Report cards are completed three times a year, with teachers adding comments and language percentages for DL classrooms.

-Exception: New students who did not receive a fall DRDP must complete one, but their ratings will not sync to Aeries—you must manually input report card markings.
-For children with IEPs, please make sure to work with their case managers for a six-month DRDP report requirement. ONLY the case managers will be submitting this information on their own system (SEIS).
Teachers only add comments (winter comment generator available).
