It’s Kindergarten round up time. All children entering kindergarten (five years old before Sept. 1, 2013) are encouraged to attend the screening on May 2 or 3 at the public school library on one of these dates.

This screening covers the developmental areas of fine and gross motor development, concept skills, hearing, vision, speech and language development. The purpose is to make sure all children on our island are growing strong and ready to learn. It takes about 45 minutes and is set up in fun centers.

Parents are asked to bring their child’s birth certificate and immunization records, if possible. They can also enroll their child in kindergarten at this time.

Call Roann at the elementary school, 376-2286 at the front office, to schedule a time for the screening. If you have a developmental concern about your three- or four-year-old child, you may make an appointment to go through screening at this time too.
