Early Childhood Preschool Objectives

Annandale Public Schools has established Early Childhood Preschool Objectives to guide preparation for kindergarten. Annandale Preschool developed early childhood objectives based on the Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress. This Pre-K desired results developmental profile is completed throughout a school year for each child in our program.  This profile is given to the Kindergarten team to review.

Teachers rely on two screening measures supported by the Minnesota Department of Education: the ESI-R, Early Screening Inventory-Revised, 2008 Edition and an Ages and Stages Questionnaire.  Early childhood staff members work in partnerships with community programs and local daycares to reach and encourage families to participate in screening of their children at 3 years old.  Screenings can be scheduled during the child's preschool day.  Marketing efforts feature mailings, promotional materials, and use of social media.   

All Students in Third Grade Achieving Grade-Level Literacy

Elementary Literacy Goal (aligned with Q Comp goal) is based on the RtI Framework (Response to Intervention) for literacy as documented in our District Literacy Plan. This tiered approach allows us to reach all students based on defined data and interventions in place within our elementary school.

Goal/Results 2022-2023 - The MCA-III/MTAS-III Reading proficiency goal for 2023 for grades 3-5 Annandale Elementary School students enrolled for at least half the year was 68.9%.  Our proficiency for 2023 in grades 3-5 was 63.0%

Goal 2023-2024 The MCA-III/MTAS-III Reading proficiency goal for 2024 for grades 3-5 Annandale Elementary School students enrolled for at least half the year is 66.0%. 

Achievement and Integration Plan-- Annandale Public Schools participates as an Adjoining District in an Achievement and Integration Plan with St. Cloud Public Schools, a Racially Isolated School District.  This association with St. Cloud and other surrounding districts offers our students financial support for interventions and experiences with students in another district.

The state and district plans were revised in school year 2022-2023.  The new plan is the 2023-2026 Achievement and Integration Plan.

Specific yearly goal statements assigned by the Minnesota Department of Education and results for 2023.  Achievement & Integration Results are linked in the Strategies, Support & Progress page.
