Kindergarten Screening

As part of our kindergarten enrollment process, we screen of all our incoming kindergarten students to help our principals and teachers get to know your child as they plan for the upcoming school year. The kindergarten screening process will last approximately 15 minutes. During this time, your child will participate in different activity stations with one of our teachers. While waiting for your child, you will be given a rating scale to complete.

The following is a short description of some of the activities that will be done at each station:

- Motor Skills – skipping, hopping, cutting, writing (please wear comfortable shoes)
- Language Skills - knowledge of letters/words, problem solving skills
- Concepts - knowledge of colors, counting, sorting

Where: North Olmsted Administrative Office, 26669 Butternut Ridge Road
When: May 28 and May 29
Times: There are a variety of times available on the above listed days to sign up for an appointment
