PROGRAMMER INSTRUCTIONS:

BOLD “Ungraded” “Prekindergarten”, “Transitional (or readiness) kindergarten”, “Kindergarten”, AND
“Transitional first (or pre-first) grade” IN HELP TEXT.
HELP FOR CODE 1: Ungraded: A classroom containing children with an age span of two or more years, not
formally identified by grade(s).
HELP FOR CODE 2: Prekindergarten: Prekindergarten includes early childhood education programs, nursery
school, or preschool.
HELP FOR CODE 3: Transitional (or readiness) kindergarten (TK): A transitional kindergarten (TK) program is
an extra year of school before kindergarten starts. It is different from preschool or prekindergarten. TK may
be for children who are too young to start kindergarten or need more time to be ready for kindergarten.
Schools have different names for these programs (for example, early transitional kindergarten (ETK),
readiness kindergarten, or a kindergarten equivalent in a classroom without grades or one with multiple
grades), but all are types of kindergarten. The program may be in a public or private school, or an early
childhood setting such as a nursery school, early childhood learning center, or day care center. It may be a
full- or part-day program and have regular and/or special education.

HELF FOR CODE 5: Transitional first (or pre-first) grade: Transitional first (or pre-first) grade is a school
program between kindergarten and the first grade. The name of this program may vary by school (for
example, a K-1 class or placement). It is for children who have attended kindergarten, but need more time to
be ready for the first grade. Children in this program may be part of a regular first-grade classroom or in a
separate classroom.

child of limited English proficiency to the extent necessary to allow the child to achieve competence.
Dual Language Instruction: Also known as two-way immersion, the goal of these programs is for students to
develop language proficiency in two languages by receiving content instruction in English and another
language in a classroom that usually consists of both native English speakers and native speakers of the other
language.
