Welcome Future Ramblers!

You and your child are about to begin the exciting new experience of starting school. It is during this first year of school that your child’s lifelong understanding of education and learning is formed. Our goal is to ensure your child has a successful first school experience that will help prepare him or her for a lifetime of learning.

Fraser Public Schools requires all incoming kindergarten and Young 5s students to take the Brigance Early Childhood Screening. The main goal of the readiness assessment is to increase your child’s success in school. This free assessment:

• Takes about 15 minutes
• Assesses school readiness
• Determines each child's strengths and needs
• Provides a baseline for our teachers
• Results are not reported on a report card

Parents/Guardians will set up an appointment once they complete the registration process.
