The purpose of the screening is to observe students as they participate in groups, work individually, and interact with peers as well as determine the appropriate academic groupings necessary to serve each child.
- Lower School
- Students will interview with one of our screening teachers to complete informal assessments in reading, math, and written language. These will determine if we have the appropriate grouping for a student if they were to attend Briarwood. After a successful interview, a classroom visit be scheduled.
- Students will visit the classroom for one or two days between the hours of 7:50 am and 2:30 pm.
- Students will "shadow" a friend and spend the day in the classroom to gain insight into what he or she will experience in the school setting.
- During the visit one of our speech pathologists will conduct a speech screening.
