ELKTON SCHOOL DISTRICT
3 & 4 YEAR OLD SCREENING
The Elkton School District will be offering a screening for ALL CHILDREN living in the Elkton School District, ages 3 and 4 on Wednesday, Sept. 14th. We will also screen any 5 year olds (not currently attending the Elkton School) whose parents have concerns about their development. This screening will include a brief review of your child’s development in large and fine motor skills, concepts, and speech and language. The screening will take approximately 30 minutes and parents will get to talk with an early childhood specialist after their child has been screened.
Please call the Elkton School, 542-2541, to set up an appointment for your child’s screening.
If you have a child ages Birth-3, and you have concerns about their development, please call the school and we will set up an appointment for a later date to screen your child. We will not be screening these ages on September 14th.
If you have any questions, contact Mrs. Fargen, Preschool Teacher, at the Elkton School.
