Universal Screener (Hall County Elementary Schools)

In approximately 2 weeks, your student’s classroom teacher will score the following screener. At the start of the school year, all parents were asked to complete the Student Services Acknowledgement form within the Parent Portal. If you completed all back-to-school forms, then you have already done so.

Please note, if you have not already completed the Student Services Acknowledgement form within the Parent Portal, it is imperative that you do so now. Directions for setting up your Parent Portal can be found here.

If it is your desire that your student NOT participate in the upcoming screener, it is your responsibility to communicate with your child’s School Counselor directly. A directory of Hall County School District’s School Counselors can be found here.

Frequently Asked Questions about Birthdays:

If you would like your child's class to celebrate his/her birthday at school, please communicate in advance with the teacher.  Buying the class ice cream or sending in store-bought birthday treats (ex. cupcakes, donuts) can be planned ahead with the teacher.  The teacher will distribute the treats at the appropriate time.  We are unable to distribute invitations at school.
