Lake Forest School District 67 and Lake Bluff School District 65 are providing free educational screening on Sept. 30, 2011 and Feb. 10, 2012 for preschool-age children who reside in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff. Three-, four-, and 5-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. Nurses also complete a brief vision and hearing screening. Screening in all areas is optional.  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 on the day of the child’s screening. To schedule a child’s preschool screening appointment, contact Carole Racansky, department of student services, at (847) 604-7422.
