We Need You!!!

It is that time of year again Wildcat families, We are in need of New PTA Board members. Our open positions will be Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. Remember without a PTA Board we will not have a PTA.

Are you worried about your child's development?

-Does your child have a medical disorder or birth defect that interferes with their development?

-Does the child seem to have hearing or vision issues?

-Does your child have difficulty communicating with people outside the family?

-Does your child have difficulty keep up with other children their age?

-Does your child have concerning behaviors?

Any child, birth to five, whose family or caregivers would like more information about their child's development can contact the Eatonville School District to receive a FREE Child Find Screening.

What happens during a Child Find Screening?

-The purpose of a Child Find Screening is to identify issues that may affect your child's learning, growth and development and to help parents identify their child's strengths and weaknesses.

-During the screening, your child may stack small blocks, cut with scissors, draw, count, name colors, jump and have fun!

-After the screening, someone will talk with you about the results and you may be given suggestions, a referral for more testing or scheduled to have the skills rechecked at a later time. You will have the chance to ask any questions about your child's development. The whole process will take one hour.

Where can I get my child screened?

For more information and to schedule a screening in your school district, please contact: Eatonville School District, Student Services Office at 360-879-1800. If your family is living in a temporary situation, you may contact the district where you are currently staying for a screening.
