SCREENING EARLY CHILDHOOD EARLY CHILDHOOD SCREENING Early Childhood Screening is an opportunity for children and their parents to participate in a free health and developmental screening after their 3rd birthday. State law requires screening for all children entering public school Kindergarten, ideally at age 3. WHO NEEDS TO BE SCREENED? All children living in District 728 who are 3, 4, or 5 years old and are not currently enrolled in Kindergarten need to participate in this free screening program before entering Kindergarten, or have an equivalent screening from a doctor. Children who attend Head Start or Early Childhood Special Education Services programs may not have to participate in Early Childhood Screening. REASONS TO SCREEN AT AGE 3 »» Screening assists your child to be ready for Kindergarten. »» Health and developmental problems/concerns can be identified earlier and help provided sooner; families may be referred to community health and educational services including School Readiness Preschool and ECFE. »» Screening is free, easy and good for your child. WHAT HAPPENS DURING SCREENING AND WHAT DOES IT INCLUDE? The parent attends the entire screening process with their child. The screening appointment includes a speech and developmental progress review by a screening specialist and a review of your child's vision, hearing, height, weight and immunization history with a health professional. The parent/s will participate in a family factors interview to review the screening process and talk about any concerns they may have, and finish with a summary interview. IS SCREENING REQUIRED? Minnesota state law requires that your child must be screened for enrollment in a public school. Children are not permitted to enter public school without having Early Childhood Screening and up-to-date immunizations. If you are planning to send your child to private or home school, the screening is not required by law; however, we still encourage you to participate. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to find out how your child is developing. SCHEDULE A SCREENING APPOINTMENT TODAY! Screenings are done by appointment only. You can schedule an appointment online at www.isd728.org/ecs-schedule, or call 763-241-3525. Wonderful experience for something that could be potentially stressful for parents and children. Very well done! ~ Early Childhood Screening Parent ISD 728 COMMUNITY EDUCATION | 763.241.3520 | www.728communityed.com 35
