PreSchool Screening

On Friday, March 25th, 2022 from 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., Sumner County Educational Services will offer a free developmental screening to children, ages birth through 5. If you are interested in how your child is growing and developing, please call the school office at 620-892-5215 x2 to schedule an appointment. Parents of birth to 2.5, you will meet one on one with a provider, and will be asked about how your child is developing. Parents of children 2.6 and up, there are 4 stations that your child will go through, so please plan to spend about an hour at the screening. If your child is currently enrolled in South Haven’s preschool, or is on an IFSP/IEP, it is not necessary to have him/her screened. If you have any questions or concerns, please talk with your child’s teacher.

This is a cooperative effort among Sumner County Educational Services Interlocal District #619 and USD #509.

Reminders about illness at School

Please review the information below regarding viruses, policy guidelines for sending students home and returning to school, and prevention tips.

COVID-19: Covid-19 symptoms may closely resemble other viruses and allergy symptoms. Any student that has a temp of 100 or more will be sent home. A student may be monitored for additional symptoms if warranted. If you know that your student has been in direct contact with a Covid-19 positive case, you will need to contact Sumner County Health Department and await further instruction before your student can return to school.

STUDENTS WITH FEVER, VOMITING, DIARRHEA: Any student with a fever of 100 or more will need to be picked up from school. Any student who has had an episode of vomiting or diarrhea will need to be picked up from school. The child is not to return to school until he or she has not had a vomiting or diarrhea episode for 24 hours, and or is fever-free for a minimum of 72 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication such as Tylenol (Acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen. If a parent discovers at home that a child has a fever, the same guideline applies. If a student returns to school within the initial 72 hour period, a parent will be notified that the student will need to be picked up from school.

USD 509 has openings for Baseball Coach and Asst. Softball coach
