District 58 announces preschool screening dates for 2011-12
District 58 will hold eight preschool screenings throughout the 2011-12 school year. Concerned parents are encouraged to call (630) 719-5800 to schedule an appointment.
Each year, Downers Grove Grade School District 58 offers free preschool screenings designed to identify three- to five-year-old children who might have developmental delays and who would benefit from special education prior to beginning kindergarten, as well as identify children who might be at risk due to environmental, cultural or socio-economic factors. Preschool screenings are available free of charge to District 58 residents, and are designed to evaluate development in children ages two years and 10 months to five years old.
Parents or guardians of children who are residents of the district but not yet in kindergarten are eligible to register their children for the screening. The screening will examine development in the following areas: speech/language, vision, hearing, cognitive/pre-academic, self-help/independent living, fine motor, gross motor and social/emotional/behavior skills.
District 58 will offer eight preschool screenings at two locations throughout the 2011-12 school year in the mornings on the following dates:
