Is your child between 3 and 5 years old?
Melrose Public Schools Early Childhood Screening is a time to check on how your child is growing and developing.
Early Childhood Screening helps you:
*Find out how your child is doing.
*Connect you and your child to early childhood programs and other community services.
*Answer your parenting questions.
What happens during Screening?
Trained professionals will check your child’s:
Vision & Hearing, Health History,
Immunization Records, Height/Weight/Growth, Skills in Thinking, Communication & Language, Large/Small Muscles, and Social/Emotional Development.
All of this information is important for your child’s continued learning and readiness for future school success. After the screening, you will be given a full report of your child’s learning and growth. Information to support your job as a parent will also be available. Screening is required for entrance into kindergarten.
For more information about screening, or to schedule an appointment, please call 256-5160 x 4324 and ask for assistance. If you are concerned that the school does not have proper contact information for you, and your child is between 3 and 4 years old, please contact Tatum to give her your current address and your child’s information @ tholdvogt@isd740.org.
