What to Expect
Students are assessed by Kolbe's talented grade-level teachers using our classroom platform, Adobe Connect. This meeting is designed to allow families to interact in our classroom platform and trial the student/teacher interaction, while allowing Kolbe to get to know your student earlier in the process. The goal of placements is to ensure the student is on grade level and that their schedule is matched with their learning needs and abilities.
There is no need to prepare; your child will simply arrive at their scheduled time with their placement test in hand. The teacher will welcome them to the Kolbe classroom and guide them in completing their placement test.
The day before your scheduled placement test appointment, a grade level assessor will reach out to you with the Adobe Connect Room link as well as the PDF placement test for you to print. You will need to have access to a printer and/or scanner, headset, printed placement test, and high-speed internet for your appointment. The placement cover page will have all needed supplies for your child's grade level meeting.
