Free Educational Preschool Screenings in District 67

Submitted by District 67

Lake Forest School District 67 will provide free educational screenings on Friday, September 25, 2015 for preschool-age children who reside in Lake Forest.

Three, four, and five year-old children who have not entered Kindergarten are eligible for the preschool screening. The purpose of screening children is not for advance placement in school, but to help parents identify development lags in their children. Developmental delays can be observed in a child’s speech and language, fine and gross motor skills, learning ability, or emotional and social growth. Nurses also complete a brief vision and hearing screening.

Screening in all areas is optional. In order to participate, a child must be registered in advance. After the child is registered, a packet will be sent home. Parents are asked to complete several necessary forms, which should be brought on the day of the child’s screening.

To schedule a child’s preschool screening appointment, please contact the District 67 Department of Student Services, 847-604-7459.
