Child-Find Screening
The Leola School District will conduct its fall Child-Find Screening on:
Friday, October 25th, 2024 in the Leola School Gymnasium.
All children who are 3 years old and any 5 year olds who have not yet been screened are recommended for this screening. (Must be 3 at the time of screening.)
The purpose of Child Find Screening is to provide the parents and the school with information related to the child's educational development in the areas of:
Basic concepts
Language and speech development
Motor skills
This is conducted by the school district at no cost to the family and will take approximately 45 minutes. This is not a mandatory screening, however, it is highly recommended.
*Please note: This is not preschool registration. That will happen in the Spring of 2025.
Please call the school to make an appointment for the screening at 605-439-3142. If you would like more information about the screening or if you know of a child that may benefit from the Child Find Screening please contact the Leola School at 605-439-3142.
