Early Childhood Screening is a quick and simple check of how children are doing between the ages of three to four years. It identifies, at an early stage, possible learning or health concerns so that children can get needed help before starting school. Screening in early childhood supports children's readiness for kindergarten and promotes positive child health and developmental outcomes. Early Childhood Screening is not a kindergarten entrance test. Visit our Early Childhood Screening web page for more information. Check Your Child's Food Account BalanceFamilies and staff can check their food account balance and date of last transaction. You will be prompted to enter a PIN number. Parents: this is the same PIN your child uses to purchase breakfast, lunch, milk and a la carte items. Forgot that PIN? Contact your school's office.
