The screening staff will include a nurse, speech and hearing therapist, elementary consultant, kindergarten teachers, physical education teacher, guidance counselor, and principal. Prospective students will be participating in the state mandated kindergarten screening as a part of the assessment.
We ask that everyone intending to send their child to pre-kindergarten or kindergarten call in to register and make an appointment, We base how many sections of pre-kindergarten and kindergarten we will have for the school year with the number of students we receive from this screening. At the conclusion of the screening, parents will be provided with information regarding their child, and given the opportunity to discuss the results of the screening with the school personal.
Those who do not attend the April clinic may have to wait until after the school starts next year to have their child go through the screening. it is much easier for everyone involved if parents register and bring their child to the April Clinic. North Central also intends to once again house a preschool unit which will be operated by the Northwest Ohio Educational Service center at 567-444-4800 for more information regarding the preschool.
