Preschool screening |
|
Billings Public Schools offer free preschool screenings for their residents with children 0-5 years old. The purpose of the screening is to provide an overall developmental check of your child and to assist you in determining if he/she is developing appropriately for his/her age. The children are assessed on their speech/language, vision, hearing, learning, health, & social/emotional health.
|
|
There will be a screening on Friday, February 14.
|
|
If you are interested in scheduling a screening for your child, stop by Cindy's office and she will give you the information necessary to do so!

Information regarding kindergarten 2020 |
|
The children who will be 5 years old on, or before September 10, 2020 are eligible for kindergarten this coming fall. If your child falls into this category, and you have not already done so, please inform Cindy ASAP as to whether you intend on sending them to kindergarten or if you plan on waiting until next year. We will begin assessing all of the kindergarten eligible children at the beginning of April. That being said, if you are uncertain of your fall intensions for your child, please let Cindy know right away and we will be sure to assess those children first so you will have a chance to see how they are progressing academically, hopefully aiding your decision making process. We intend to have all assessments complete and available to the parents by Friday, April 24. If you have any questions about your child's assessment, please ask Jacque and she will direct you to the teacher who can best answer them for you. We will begin practicing for our Preschool Graduation on Monday, April 27 and we would appreciate it if parents could provide their decisions no later than this date. We do not want to tell a child that they will be participating in the program and moving on to kindergarten, only to later inform them that they will be moved back to the younger group.

Winter clothing |
|
Please be sure that you are not "storing" your child's snow clothing in their cubby & that they are being taken to and from Discovery each day. The children who share cubbies are typically those whose schedules offset one another and therefore, they should have space available to them on their scheduled days.
