District 304 To Offer Free Preschool Screenings

From Geneva Community Unit School District 304: State law indicates that all children with qualifying disabilities between the ages of 3 and 5 years must be provided with programs appropriate to their needs. The school district must offer an annual screening of these children in order to determine need and eligibility for services. Eligible children must be preschool age and reside within the district.

Geneva School District is providing free screenings to assess your child's development in the following areas: Vision and Hearing, Speech and Language, Cognitive and Motor, and Social and Emotional. This screening is optional. It is not a requirement for enrolling in preschool and is not designed to determine kindergarten readiness.

These screenings will take place at Geneva 304 Early Learning Program at Fabyan Elementary School (0S350 Grengs Lane, Geneva, IL 60134).

Screening dates are:

• Friday, Nov. 10, 2017
• Friday Jan. 19, 2018
• Thursday, March 1, 2018

Appointments are necessary and students must be pre-registered in order to participate. Proof of residency is required in order to register a child for an Early Childhood screening. To register, please visit the Geneva 304 Early Learning Program website. Once there, click on the Child Find Screenings icon and complete the Early Childhood Screening Intake Form. Once this form is completed and submitted, you will be contacted to schedule a screening time.
