The District offers free, online Child Development Screenings using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire. The screening is open to any resident of the Unified School District of De Pere with a child ages 2 years 9 months to 4 years 6 months (who is not currently enrolled in 4K).

You simply fill out a questionnaire regarding how your young child is progressing in meeting developmental milestones.  The questionnaire is available online between October and March. For questions, including requesting a paper questionnaire or how to have a screening conducted outside of the listed timeframe, contact Samantha LeRoy, Student Services Coordinator (920) 983-9174 ext. 4116.
