Early Childhood Screening for 2014-15 Kindergarteners is Required

If you have a child entering kindergarten for the 2014-15 school year, please plan for and schedule their early childhood screening appointment.  The state of MN, as well as the Prior Lake-Savage school district, requires early childhood screenings be completed before kindergarten.  Appointments are required and take place on select Tuesdays and Fridays.  You can call (952)-226-0975 or email ecscreening@priorlake-savage.k12.mn.us to make an appointment.  Children can be screened as early as age 3.

Early childhood screening is a comprehensive review of children in three developmental areas as well as a review of the general health, immunizations, hearing, vision, speech, height and weight.
All screenings take place at Edgewood School, 5304 WestWood Drive, Prior Lake.  The phone number listed above can also be called for exemption information if you are opposed to screening your child.
