INTERVIEW:
At this time, Saint Joseph Catholic School will do a short interview with the students. Parents are allowed in this meeting. Basic questions to get the know the student are asked, along with some super fun and silly ones! (Like, if you could only eat one flavor of ice cream forever, what would it be?) This allows us to get to know the student on a more personal level.
PLACEMENT EXAMS:
After the interview, parents are able to leave for the recommended amount of time for student placement test. This allows us to see what grade level is appropriate for student abilities. These exams are for the purpose of information to find out how we can best serve your student!
For younger students (PK) this assessment is very casual and may consist of playing with toys, talking about shapes, colors, singing songs (ABCS), and visting the playground (to make sure student is able to climb stairs, hop, jump, etc. (Younger student assessment runs about 15-20 minutes.)
Older students will be given an exam consiting of a fluency assessment, reading comprehension, and math skills. (Older students can expect the exam to run 1 -2 hours).
