ELKTON SCHOOL DISTRICT
3 & 4 YEAR OLD SCREENING
The Elkton School District will be offering a screening for ALL CHILDREN living in the Elkton School District, ages 3 and 4 on Wednesday, Sept. 14th. We will also screen any 5 year olds (not currently attending the Elkton School) whose parents have concerns about their development. This screening will include a brief review of your child’s development in large and fine motor skills, concepts, and speech and language. The screening will take approximately 30 minutes and parents will get to talk with an early childhood specialist after their child has been screened.
Please call the Elkton School, 542-2541, to set up an appointment for your child’s screening.
If you have a child ages Birth-3, and you have concerns about their development, please call the school and we will set up an appointment for a later date to screen your child. We will not be screening these ages on September 14th.
If you have any questions, contact Mrs. Fargen, Preschool Teacher, at the Elkton School.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we navigate the clean up following our Geo-thermal leak.
It is in times like this that I am reminded we have the BEST staff, the BEST students, and the BEST parents.

The year is off to a great start! During the summer we make plans for the upcoming year hoping that once students arrived the procedures, we have in place will work. We have noticed the need for additional help with our recesses for our students. We have implemented various supports to help ensure we are providing our students with the safest recess possible. I am looking to see if there are parents or community members who would be interested in volunteering for a short period of time each week to aid in playground supervision. Volunteers would be responsible for ensuring that the school's health and safety rules are followed, for interacting with students and encouraging appropriate play and for managing student behavior, working with teachers and administration where appropriate.
We are looking for help at the following times: 10:40am-11:05am (Kindergarten/1st grade) and 11:55am-12:20pm (2nd/3rd grade). You need not volunteer for all days of the school week or both times. We do ask that anyone looking to volunteer please follow our volunteer policy listed below.
Guidelines for Volunteers:
• Volunteers are required to check in and out at the main office.
• Please be courteous and follow the rules and regulations of the school.
• Please set up a predetermined block of time with the school for volunteering. If you are unable to attend your scheduled time, please let the school know.
• Please stay home if you are sick.
• Do not bring siblings to school when you are volunteering.
• Do not take videos or photographs of students.
• Any communication with, or information about, individual students (including their performance or actions) must be kept strictly confidential.
• Teachers are responsible for discipline.
If you would be interested in helping during this time, please contact me via Dojo messenger or at kelly.neill@k12.sd.us.
Thank you for your help! Parent and community support is vital to making our school a great place!
