September 3rd - 5th, 2013, your child will be screened using an assessment created by our early childhood team.  This assessment consists of 3 parts: motor skills, concepts, and language.  There will also be a vision and hearing screening.  This process could take up to 60 minutes.  Following the assessment, a member of our early childhood team will meet with you.  We will register you for a screening appointment when you complete your registration materials (available on line or at the school office).
