Parents also may call Brenda Haubert at South Elementary School at 419-294-2304 between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. to set up screening appointments. After requesting appointments, parents and guardians will receive letters notifying them of their appointment times.
The last day to register is March 28.
When calling for an appointment, parents are asked to provide each child’s name, address, phone number and birth date. They must bring each child’s birth certificate or other legal proof of age, Social Security card and an applicable custody papers to screening appointments.
