In Minnesota, all children are required to complete Early Childhood Screening before they enter Kindergarten in a public school.

Ideally, screening should take place when a child is 3- 4 years old. The screening is a FREE brief check of a child's health and development. Results of the screening help identify health or learning concerns that may require special attention before a child enters kindergarten.

Screening Includes:

• A look at child's development

• Vision and hearing checks

• Height and weight measurement

• An immunization and health history review

Immunization

All other forms will be mailed to you a week before your scheduled appointment.

Screenings are offered on most Friday afternoons throughout the school year at the District Education Center.

Call 952-556-6200 for an appointment.

Please remember to bring your child's immunization record to the screening appointment.

Call for more information if:

• You are new to the district

• Your child is over four and has NOT been notified

• Your child is entering Kindergarten in the fall of '08 and has not been screened
