Early Childhood Screenings

Glencoe School District 35 is offering early childhood screenings for Glencoe children birth through 5 years of age.  The screenings are open to Glencoe residents who have concerns about their child’s development in the areas of: speech-language, fine motor skills, concept development, and/or social/emotional growth.  Vision and hearing screenings are also provided for children 3 years and older. 

Screenings will be held at South School on Monday, October 22nd and Wednesday,  October 24th from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM, by appointment only.

Children will participate in all components of the screening.  These screenings are being conducted in an effort to identify children who may qualify for special education services and/or consultation during early development.  Please note, the screening is not designed to determine kindergarten readiness.
