Santa Fe Trail PreK and Kindergarten students are invited to complete the Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ). These simple, research-based screeners help identify your child’s developmental strengths as well as any areas where additional support may be helpful.
The questionnaires are quick to complete, and all responses are kept confidential. Your input helps us better support your child's growth and success in the classroom.
Tips for Completing the Screeners
- Turn activities into a fun game for you and your child.
- Choose a time when your child is well-rested and has eaten.
- Try each activity before selecting your response.
- Answer based on your child’s typical behavior—not how they act when tired, sick, or hungry.
