Parents will soon be able to schedule screenings for their students for pre-kindergarten.
Principle of Lincoln and Douglas Elementary Schools in Clinton, Beth Wickenhauser, indicates the screenings begin in March, but sign up for screening times begin in February.
If you've never had a child screened before, or are new to the process, Wickenhause explains they are seeking out milestone with their motor skills.
According to Wickenhauser, the screenings aren't an indictment on parenting, but rather, it is simply making sure students may be ready for pre-kindergarten.
Because of funding, Clinton schools can only take so many students in their pre-K classes. Wickenhauser says because of the limited spaces available, they target the highest need students first.
To get you child scheduled for a screening at one of the elementary schools, contact Douglas School at 217-935-2987 or Lincoln School 217-935-6383.
