Holy Name Catholic School

to hold D.I.A.L. screening

ESCANABA — Holy Name’s Early Childhood Team will hold free D.I.A.L. (Developmental Indicators for the Assessment of Learning) screening for any child between four and six years old on Saturday, March 4 from 9 a.m. to approximately noon. Parents and their children should bring along the child’s birth certificate to the screening. Photocopies will be made, and the originals will be returned.

The screenings will be held in the school classrooms with registration at the front of the building. Tours of the school will also be available for any interested parents, grandparents and potential students. Refreshments, including cookies, juice and coffee, will be available. The information gathered in the screenings, along with data provided by families, will be discussed with the families at the end of the testing.
