Kindergarten Entry Staggered Switcheroo Model 2026-2027
What is a Staggered Switcheroo Model?
The Staggered Switcheroo Model is a process during the first few days of school where all students will spend time with each kindergarten teacher. Students will be assessed on social, emotional, and academic skills. This will give staff a true understanding of each child, their strengths, and their unique needs. This will then allow staff to create rosters that reflect a diverse and balanced classroom.
