Thank you for your application to First Grade for the 2025-2026 school year!
POPCS hosts observation and assessment dates for Grade 1 applicants. These dates are an important part of our admission process, providing valuable insights into each applicant’s academic, social, and developmental readiness for our program.
During these sessions, applicants will visit a kindergarten classroom where they will engage in school day activities. Additionally, a member of the POPCS admissions team will administer an individual assessment, using the Admission Testing Solutions First Grade Assessment.
Student visits are from 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Applicants must register and pay the $99 testing fee in advance through ATS. Once your date is confirmed, a link for ATS testing registration will be sent.
