PRESCHOOL SCREENINGS
CALLING ALL 3 & 4 YEAR OLDS
Staunton Elementary School will conduct annual preschool screenings for the 2022-2023 school year on April 11, 12, 13, & 14. This is a free developmental screening for all preschool children who will not be eligible to attend Kindergarten in the fall and will be three (3) years old on or before September 1, 2023. Parents are encouraged to
take advantage of this opportunity to identify their child's strengths as well as weaknesses in the areas of fine and gross motor skills, concepts, and communication. Vision and hearing will also be screened. Parents will be asked
to complete a parent interview form covering early development. It may be helpful to bring the child's baby
book. Parents will be informed of their child's performance immediately following the screening. The school's goal is to assist parents in determining that their child will be ready for Kindergarten and will be able to make the most of future school experiences. To be eligible for any preschool services, children must participate in a
screening and proof of income must be provided. To schedule an appointment, please call the Staunton Elementary School at (618) 635-3831 as soon as possible. Appointments must be made in advance.
Please bring in any of the following as proof of income for the state:
Income Tax Forms
Your last, most recent two pay stubs
• Proof of WIC
Proof of SNAP benefits
Wages and Tax Statement (most recent W-2)
• Verification letter from employer
**Preschool for All Children (3-5) programs are being funded on a competitive basis. Staunton CUSD #6 will conduct screenings in anticipation of funding of our proposal by the Illinois State Board of Education.

The Sophomore Class of 2025 is currently having a fundraiser to help them make money for their class trip and to help pay for Prom as juniors. The fundraiser is "Cards for a Cause." They are awesome to have around the house because you have a great storage container for your cards that you already have on hand, plus you have the cards that come in the box. Each card is individually wrapped and embellished. If you are interested, please email kreinhardt@stauntonschools.org and we can get your order added to the list! Money is due upon the time of order!
Congratulations to the 2023 7th grade volleyball team on their regional championship! The terriers have a 24-1 record, and they will advance to sectionals next week. Keep up the great work, terriers and Coach Weller!
