ONGOING ASSESSMENT WITH FAMILY COMMUNICATION
The King’s Gate teachers collect a variety of samples of each child’s work in individual portfolios as a way of staying aware of each child’s progress and their need for support, practice and/or further extension of concepts. Each child’s learning and development is continuously assessed by the staff (working as a team) so that they can provide the best support and learning environment possible. The portfolios are also used to display examples of skill growth over time for progress/concern reports to parents. In addition to portfolios, the staff uses several assessment tools to track each child’s progress over time.
The King’s Gate staff is always visible and available to parents and families. The teachers handle carpool in order to have those few moments of face-to-face contact during drop-off and pick-up every day. There are Parent-Teacher conferences scheduled throughout the school year and on an as-needed-basis to help parents stay aware of their child’s progress and to discuss any concerns. If needed, King’s Gate will work with parents to establish an individual education plan and team for their child, and on occasion that includes professionals outside of King’s Gate Christian School.
AUCTION (Parent Sponsored Fundraiser)
The annual dinner/live and silent auction is the main yearly fundraising event at King’s Gate. In order to keep our tuition as low as possible, we hold an annual dinner/auction to raise money for the school. Money raised at this event is used to fund many of our special programs and scholarships at King’s Gate, as well as equipment and supplies for the classrooms. On Meet the Teacher Night, parents will be offered the opportunity to sign up for auction committees. As well as supporting King’s Gate, being involved in the auction is a great way to meet and fellowship with other King’s Gate parents. We encourage parents to get involved with this fun way to support our school!
THE AMAZING RACE (Child Sponsored Fundraiser)
The Amazing Race is a fundraising event hosted by the children of King’s Gate in the spring of the school year. This event is a fun and great way for our children to participate in running activities while our city is participating in the annual Memorial Marathon. Proceeds help us maintain our bird feeders, the Aquatic Center, the beautiful fish tank and upgrades for the playground.
