Early Childhood Screening
The Early Childhood Screening program at ISD 199 includes vision and hearing, height and weight, immunization review, review of healthcare coverage, risk factors which may impact learning, large and small muscles, thinking, language, and speaking skills as well as parent reports of social-emotional development, and a parent summary meeting.
An Early Childhood Screening by a school district or evidence of a comparable screening by a non-school provider is required for entrance in Minnesota’s public schools. Screening must take place between age 3 and kindergarten, or within the first 30 days of kindergarten or 1st grade. Screening between the ages of 3 and 4 provides the best opportunity for any health or developmental concerns to be found early.
