We are now taking appointments for fall preschool screening. Please call or text Madison (pre-k parent coordinator) to make an appointment. If your child was screened in the spring or has already been in a Lewistown PK/EC program, they will not need to be rescreened. A screening must take place in order to be in the PK/EC program.
