Each year, the Altamont School District and the Department of Early Childhood conduct a Preschool Round Up for children from two to five years of age. FREE developmental screening will give parents information on the growth of their child in the areas of speech, language, concepts and motor skills. A vision and hearing screening is also provided. The screening will take approximately one hour and a signed parent/guardian permission is required. Parents of children ages two to five are encouraged to make an appointment for their child. Kindergarten pre-registration is also available at this time and location for both Altamont Grade School and Altamont Lutheran Interparish School.
The Altamont Lions Club will also be available with Kids Sight USA. The screening equipment being used may determine the presence of eye disorders including far and near sightedness, astigmatism, an isometropia, and strabismus. The screening is done by a photographic process from a distance of three feet. No physical contact is made with the child and no eye drops are administered. This, also, is a FREE service.
The Registration form is linked below and due before February 14, 2025.
