Pre-Kindergarten Screening Information
Freeburg District #70 will be holding Pre-Kindergarten Screening on Wednesday, April 28th at the Freeburg Primary Center. Children who are 3 years or 4 years (will be three years old before September 1, 2021) old are eligible for screening. The screening is provided free of charge to all residents of Freeburg District #70. All parents of age-eligible children are urged to participate in this opportunity to learn valuable information about the development of their child.
Children will be screened in the areas of motor skill development, speech/language, cognitive (pre-academic) knowledge, and social/emotional development. Hearing and vision screening also occurs at this time. Information on your child's school readiness and development will be presented to you upon the conclusion of the screening.
Screening provides opportunities for families to become familiar with programs and services available through our school district. As a result of screening, children may qualify for entrance into our Pre-Kindergarten classroom or for other programs, such as speech therapy, playgroups, home visits, etc.
Call to make an appointment for screening at 539-3188 extension 302. Spaces are limited.
Important Message from Nurse Lauren
IDPH and Freeburg District #70 have implemented certain guidelines that we ask every family to follow. If your child is not feeling well, please keep him/her home. In order for him/her to return to in-person school or extra-curricular activities one of the following options must occur:
1) Your child must have a note from his/her doctor with an alternative diagnosis AND the note must state that your child’s symptoms are not COVID related. All symptoms must be addressed by your child’s doctor OR
2) Your child has a negative RT-PCR COVID test. I must receive the documented results before returning (Rapid testing is not accepted by the school, unless positive. Your doctor must indicate which test was administered or it must be clearly identified on the test results) OR
3) Your child must quarantine for 10 days and must be fever-free for 24 hours AND have improvement of symptoms before returning. I will need a note from the parent/guardian documenting that the child and everyone in the household are afebrile without fever-reducing medication and the child’s symptoms have improved.
Please do not send your child (or siblings) back to school until your child has been cleared by the nurse or an administrator. You will receive a phone call to confirm that they are allowed to return. Your child (and siblings) will be all remote until cleared to return. It is important for the safety of all the children and staff to follow this protocol.
I truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we navigate these guidelines during this difficult time. If you have any questions and/or concerns, please call the office.
