The Kansas State Department of Education mandates that all accredited schools administer both the ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 to incoming kindergarteners and preschoolers. The ASQ helps teachers understand students' developmental milestones, ensuring classrooms are equipped to support their success. Please help us meet this state requirement and your child's needs by following the link in the attached graphic!
