For Kindergarten Screening

If your child will enter Kindergarten for the 2020-2021 school year, please plan to join us for Kindergarten screening. This screening with your child provides valuable information for the Kindergarten teaching staff. The screening will review your child’s vision and hearing abilities, fine and gross motor skills, speech and language development, academic readiness and ability to separate from their parents.

While your child is being screened you will be able to register him/her for enrollment in the fall and be able to have an informal conversation with our principal, Dr. Juliane Fredericks. The screening will take approximately 1 hour. Kindergarten screening dates are April 16 and 17. Please make an appointment by calling the school at 847-566-6601. We look forward to meeting you and your child.
