Calhoun County Schools will conduct Preschool and Kindergarten screening
and registration for the upcoming 2004-2005 school year. This service
is provided as part of the enrollment process for parents. All children
who have attained the age of five prior to the first day of September
are eligible to attend Kindergarten and those who have attained the age
of four are eligible to attend Preschool. The children will go through
a series of tests, which screen for delays in cognitive, social,
emotional, motor and language development.
Parents will need to provide a birth certificate from the Bureau of
Vital Statistics and a copy of the child's shot record during the
enrollment process. Children already enrolled in Preschool,
Kindergarten or Headstart do not need to be screened again. Students
are not required to attend Preschool. However, if you think you may be
interested, please have your child attend the screening and make a
decision about his/her attendance later.
We will begin scheduling appointments the week of April 12th. The date
scheduled for Arnoldsburg School is Friday, April 30th and Pleasant Hill
School is Friday, May 7th. Please call Cheryl Jarvis at 354-7011,
extension 11 to schedule an appointment.
If your child is three years of age and you have concerns about their
development or your child has severe medical involvement, please call
Jane Lynch at 354-7011, extension 17. Children with special needs will
be evaluated to determine eligibility for services.
