Press release from Westport Public Schools: April 8, 2021 Westport Public Schools will be conducting a screening to identify preschool children who are "at risk" for learning under the Federal and Local Title I eligibility criteria.

"At risk" also includes the following: a child who has limited English proficiency, a family that is financially unable to access a structured preschool, as well as a child who is "at risk" for developmental delays. This screening looks at a child's development in the areas of concepts, language, motor, self help and social emotional skills. The Title I Screening will be held on June 4, 2021, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Stepping Stones Preschool, located at Coleytown Elementary School, 65 Easton Road, Westport. Each child has an individualized screening which will take approximately 45 minutes.
