WaKIDS school districts to be announced next week!

With more than 50 school districts applying for the Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (WaKIDS) pilot this fall, we need just a few more days to finalize the selection of participating districts.

The final application count represented 5,700 kindergarten students and 253 classrooms! The pilot will include 120 kindergarten classrooms and 3,000 incoming kindergarten students.

You can expect the list of WaKIDS pilot participants to be online early next week. In the meantime, visit www.del.wa.gov/wakids to learn more about this exciting work that will help us better support a smooth transition from early learning into the K-12 system for our youngest learners!
