Screening Appointment
About your screening appointment:
A kindergarten screening appointment is designed to assess a child's readiness for school by evaluating their developmental and academic skills. During the appointment, children will participate in various activities, including hearing and vision screenings, as well as speech and language assessments. Parents and guardians will have the opportunity to meet with the school secretary to learn more about the elementary school, submit any missing forms, and ask questions. This is a special time to celebrate your child's next step. Each child will receive a book and a goodie bag as part of the celebration.
All screening appointments take place at 144 N. Market Street at the Board of Education office. If your child would benefit from a sensory-friendly appointment, please contact Registration at 330-988-1111 ext. 1241 or by emailing registrar@woostercityschools.org

Step 1: Please verify your home address on the map to confirm your assigned elementary school.
Step 2: Schedule your screening appointment with your assigned elementary school on either April 15, 2025 or April 30, 2025:
