These outcomes are included on the Twos Developmental Checklist completed by teachers following the first and second half of the school year.  Our program outcomes are taken from the Work Sampling System and the Ounce Scale (published by Pearson Early Learning).  The teachers keep portfolios for each student making assessment an ongoing process done throughout the school year.  Parents are welcome to conference at any time during the year.  We ask that all parents attend a conference at the end of the year.
