Preschool Screening  - Friday, October 15, 2010. Lake Forest School District 67 is providing free educational screening for preschool-age children who reside in the Lake Forest.  Three, four, and five year-old children who have not entered Kindergarten are eligible for the preschool screening.  The purpose of screening children is not for advance placement in school, but to help parents identify development lags in their children.  Developmental delays can be observed in a child’s speech and language, fine and gross motor skills, learning ability, or emotional and social growth.  (It is not necessary for a child to be screened in all areas, only the areas with which there are concern.)  Nurses also complete a brief vision and hearing screening.   Screening will take place at the Lake Forest School District 67, Administration Center, located at the Lake Forest High School’s West Campus building. Park in the southwest lot and enter at the blue canopy entrance proceeding up the stairs to the second floor to Seminar Rooms A, B, and C.

In order to participate, a child must be registered in advance.  After the child is registered, a packet will be sent home.  Parents are asked to complete several necessary forms, which should be brought back on the day of the child’s screening.  To schedule a child’s preschool screening appointment, please contact Carole Racansky, Department of Student Services, 847-604-7422.
