Early Childhood Screening

Hastings Public Schools is completing early childhood screenings virtually at this time.

Please follow these steps to complete the virtual early childhood screening process:

1. Call Linda Gunter at 651-480-7381 to schedule a virtual appointment to review screening results (Zoom or phone).

2. Complete the Early Childhood Screening Registration Form

3. Complete parent questionnaires:

The ASQ-3 will ask questions about some things your child can and cannot do. It includes questions about your child’s communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal social skills.

The ASQ-SE-2 will ask questions about some of your child’s behaviors. It includes questions about your child’s ability to calm down, take direction and follow rules, communicate, perform daily activities (e.g., eating, sleeping g), act independently, demonstrate feelings, and interact with others.

4. A few days before your scheduled screening, you will receive a zoom invitation to meet with teacher and nurse to review the information you have provided about your child. This screening summary requires parent/guardian only; your child does NOT need to be present.

5. Your screening is complete when you receive the Early Childhood Screening Summary Form via email.
