The Kindergarten Entry Assessment (KEA) is required by Nevada law. All schools are required to assess children upon entry to Kindergarten. This assessment happens between 15 days before school starts to 45 days after school starts. The assessment is NOT used to admit or deny entry into Kindergarten. The assessment is used to inform instruction and also serve as a snapshot of statewide data. Nevada is in the process of adopting a new KEA.
