Once you have registered your child, you will receive an appointment for Kindergarten Screening.
In accordance with Massachusetts Special Education Law (603, CMR 28), all students entering kindergarten must be screened to assist in identifying any issues that may require special education services. Students registering for school in August will be screening during school hours in September.
An educator will work with your child during the screening. Areas on the screening instrument include visual motor, language and cognition, speech development and fine and gross motor development.
Results of the kindergarten screening are sent home approximately one month after your child has been screened. If there are concerns after the screening process is completed, staff may re-screen your child once school starts in the fall, or the staff may refer your child for a special education evaluation.
Please call the school with any questions.
