The Screening Activity is where our team of special education professionals meet your child. It's a part of our holistic admissions process.
How do I sign up my child for a screening activity?
A child will be invited to the screen activity following the application review call if we feel Julie Billiart Schools are a good match to serve the child.
What does a screening activity look like?
Screening activities take place throughout the year at JB campuses. The location of the screening activity is prescheduled and is not related to the applicant's preferred campus for enrollment.
A typical screening activity is like a mini-school day. It will include a social activity, writing and reading, followed by recess or structured game, then a math activity.
What is being evaluated?
We observe motor skills, problem solving, coping strategies, and work ethic. We also monitor peer interaction, stamina, and self-advocacy.
Who is on the Screen Team?
The Screen Team is comprised of Julie Billiart Schools faculty and staff including principals, intervention specialists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, behavior support and the admissions team.
