Screening and Evaluation Procedures
The Cameron County Elementary (Woodland) School routinely conducts a number of
screenings. Annual Screening include: hearing acuity in grades K, 1,
2 and 3, vision acuity in grades K-6, scoliosis screening in grades K and
6, speech and language screening in grades K and 1 as well as all
transfer students. Physicals are given in grades K, 6 and 11.
Dental exams are given in grades K, 3 and 7. Tuberculin testing is
also conducted in grades K and 11.
Gross motor and fine motor skills, academic skills and
social emotional skills are assessed by school personnel on an on-going
basis.
Data from these screening sources are noted within the student's
official file. These school records are always open and available to
parents. Information from the records is release to other persons
only with written permission from the parent.
Parents with
concerns regarding their child may contact the building principal at any
time to request a screening or evaluation of their child.
At the Elementary level, all referrals begin with the Instructional
Support Team. This is a screening and data collection process.
With the exception of Enrichment, all referrals go to the Instructional
Support Team. A parent or staff member may initiate this process by
submitting a written request to Mrs. Patsy Miller, the Instructional
Support Teacher. Screening information will be used by the
Instructional Support Team, which includes the parents, to generate a plan
to meet the child's specific needs or to document the need for further
evaluation.
