Pre-K Screenings

Welcome to Pre-K Screening

Thank you for your interest in WCUSD5's Pre-Kindergarten Screening.  Please take the time to complete the following steps.  These forms allow us to collect some of the necessary information for determining your child's eligibility for WCUSD5's program.  This is the first step in your child's screening process.  The steps for completing your child's screening are listed below.

 

Each one of your children is very important to us.  All steps must be completed in order for your child to be considered for WCUSD5's Pre-Kindergarten program.  Your responses are confidential.  Not all children who are screened will receive a spot in the program. Families who complete all steps will be notified whether or not their child has received a spot in the program.  Please note that mid-day transportation is not available for Pre-Kindergarten students. 

 

Questions about screenings or the pre-kindergarten or early childhood program may be sent to prekscreening@wcusd5.net.
