Kindergarten teachers need to be able to assess where students are academically and emotionally in order to set goals for the class and individual students. With the exception of extracurricular activities such as physical education, art class, or lunch, all lessons are typically conducted in one classroom.
Kindergarten is the first and most important year of schooling for children. It is a time of personal adjustment and a stepping out beyond the family to the wider world. Mesa Public Schools offers full-day kindergarten at every elementary school. Half-day kindergartners are also welcome at each of our schools. By Governing Board policy and state law, children enrolling in kindergarten must turn 5 before September 1. Beginning in August 2011, kindergarten students will begin learning the Arizona Academic Content Standard for English Language Arts and Mathematics (Arizona's College and Career Ready Standards).
