Each year, the Teutopolis School District and the Department of Early Childhood conduct Preschool Round Up for children from two to five years of age. FREE developmental screenings are offered to give parents information on how their child is developing in the areas of speech, language, concepts and motor skills.
Vision and hearing screenings are also provided.
This year, Preschool Round Up will be held at the Sister Ethelbert Center, 110 North Garrett Street, Teutopolis, Illinois on Monday, February 10th, Tuesday, February 11th, and Wednesday, February 12th, 2025. Parents should call Amy Thoele at 217-857-3232 for an appointment or to find out more information
regarding the preschool program. There is no charge for the screening. The screening will last approximately one hour and a signed parent/guardian permission is required.
This screening is REQUIRED for all children who would like to enroll in the Teutopolis School District’s tuition-based preschool program the following school year.
There will be a separate screening for incoming kindergarten students in March.
We will be serving the lunches for January 6th-8th on Wednesday-Friday this week at TGS.
