Exciting things are happening this spring as we prepare for our 2024-2025 school year. Between developmental screenings, preschool enrollment, and Kindergarten roundup there is a lot of information for you to know!
DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENINGS
USD 407, in partnership with KidLink and Russell Regional Hospital, are hosting developmental screenings for all children ages birth to 5 years. The screenings provide parents with information about hearing, vision, emotional, academic concepts, self help, and physical milestones. The screenings are a requirement for our 4 year old preschool application. These are not kindergarten screenings. Information about kindergarten screenings will be sent out soon. Please use this link to sign up for a time.
