USD #247 kindergarten pre-enrollment will be held for children who will attend all-day kindergarten in USD #247 schools next fall. Children must be five years on or before August 31, 2012. The round up will include a free screening of speech, language, hearing, vision and other developmental tasks. There will also be the opportunity to consult with the speech clinician, health nurse and kindergarten teacher. Parents need to bring their child with the childâs birth certificate, immunization records, and social security card to this screening.
All kindergarteners are required to have physicals and current immunizations to attend school. The Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas will offer physicals, immunizations, dental screenings, and fluoride varnishes at the screening. Parents will need to bring their insurance card.
