Princeton Elementary School District will conduct a Community Wide Preschool Screening on Wednesday, May 29th. These screenings will be conducted at Douglas Elementary School, 220 East LaSalle Street, Princeton.
Children must be 3 or 4 years old before September 1, 2024 to participate in this screening. Children will be screened in the following areas: Fine and Gross Motor Skills, Learning Skills, Speech/Language, Social Emotional, and Self-Help skills.
There is no charge for this screening, but appointments are required. Please call 815-875-6075 to schedule an appointment. Each appointment lasts approximately 45 minutes. The Bright Beginnings program fills up fast, so please call and schedule an appointment ASAP.
A preschool screening is required for all families who wish to have their child enrolled in the Bright Beginnings Pre-Kindergarten Program, a grant funded program by the Illinois State Board of Education. However, any family may utilize this screening as a developmental check-up. Children currently enrolled in the Bright Beginnings preschool program do not need to be screened again. Children not screened by June 1, will not be able to start on the first day of preschool.
Families who are wanting their child in Bright Beginnings must provide proof of income at the screening (provide one of the following, preferably the first page of 2023 tax return or 2 pay stubs from each parent, 2023 W-2 for both parents or letter from employer).
All preschool students will be required to have a complete up to date physical and immunization record turned before the first day of school.
Questions may be directed to 815-875-6075.
