District 105 Announcements
PreSchool Screening - Monday, Feb. 13
School District 105, which serves the south LaGrange, Hodgkins, and Countryside communities, will be hosting a preschool screening for children ages 3 -5 years old on Monday, February 13th from 8:30am-11:30 am, at Ideal School in Countryside.
The screening takes about one hour and requires an appointment. Parents may schedule a time to be screened by calling (708) 482-2760.
A team of professionals from the district will assess each child’s development in the areas of large and fine motor skills, pre-academic readiness, speech/language, vision and hearing. The screening will help identify children who may qualify for one of the free district preschool programs, or those who would benefit from additional services prior to entering Kindergarten. Children who are currently enrolled in a District Preschool program (ECE, Head Start, Early Learning or Preschool for All) do not need to be screened.
