Kindergarten Screenings<\/h1>\n

All school districts require students entering kindergarten to enroll in a kindergarten screen. The primary purpose of the screening, according to the NYS Commissioner of Education\u2019s Regulations Part 117 is to identify children who have potential English deficiency or who may have a disability.<\/p>\n

All schools also maintain a Committee on Special Education (for school age children) and Committee on Preschool Education (for children ages 3-4). They identify children with disabilities and make arrangements for services. Cattaraugus County maintains an early intervention council that identifies children birth to age 3 for disabilities and makes arrangements for services.<\/p>\n

The DIAL 3 test is used in eight school districts: Allegany-Limestone, Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Franklinville, Hinsdale, Olean, Randolph, Salamanca, and West Valley. Ellicottville uses the Screening Test for Educational Prerequisite Skills, Pioneer the Curriculum Based Memory Assessment, and Portville the Kindergarten Readiness Test.
