Kindergarten Round-Up screening will be held at Pine Crest Elementary School April 17 - 20. Please call 217-662-6981 to schedule a time to bring your student for testing.
Documents required to register your Kindergartener are as follows:
• Current physical including a Diabetic screen and Lead screen
• Immunization record
• Certified Birth Certificate
• 2 Proofs of Residency – Power bill, Water bill, Disposal bill, Rental agreement, Mortgage papers, Real Estate Tax bill, etc.
School law requires that all Kindergarteners have the following: a PHYSICAL exam – including Lead screen and Diabetic screen, a DENTAL exam, and an EYE exam. Make appointments now. A health card will be given to parents for the doctor to complete. Students will not be able to attend school until we have a birth certificate on file and all medical and immunization requirements are complete.
At the screening, your child will go with different staff members to be screened for abilities, skills, and speech. Parents will complete additional paperwork while waiting.
If you have questions, call 217-662-6981.
