LISTED BELOW ARE DOCUMENTS EXPLAINING DEVELOPMENTAL AND ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENTS. 

Developmental Expectations

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention have outlined age-related markers that every child should reach by twelve months of age. Developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age. These should be viewed with sensitivity; as each child develops in his/her own manner. A child may be on track without having learned every skill. Parents should intervene by alerting your child’s doctor if you have any concerns over progress or delays for your child. 

New York State learning standards outline what a student should know and be able to do by the end of the grade level or band. There are also additional skills that a well-rounded student should possess. Listed below are examples of Buffalo Public Schools’ academic expectations for students grades PreK-8.
