‘Child Find’ Sets
Preschool Screening
Sitka School District provides Child Find Preschool Screenings for children ages 3-5 at the Baranof Elementary School. An appointment is required for the Friday, Jan. 20, screening. For information, or to schedule an appointment, parents can call (907) 966-1516.
The Child Find program is provided without charge to families who live within school district boundaries.
The program identifies children who are having difficulty in their development, and provides special education services to them, when appropriate.
Parents may have concerns about their child’s development in the areas of hearing, vision, speech/language skills, motor skills, thinking skills or emotional or social skills. A screening is a series of short tests and professional observations in various developmental areas.
Screenings will be held at least once per quarter at Baranof Elementary School, and those dates will be publicized. Additional appointments at other times or locations may be scheduled as needed.
