Child Development Screenings
Early Stage Child Development Screenings will begin at Janney as needed after the first of the year. These screenings will be administered by Early Stages - the program within DCPS' Office of Special Education focused on children 3 to 5 years old. The program seeks to provide early identification of any developmental delays that a child may have and appropriate evaluations and services to address those delays. Early Stages begins this identification process by administering the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) to your child - a highly rated screening tool that offers a complete overview of your child's development, including the areas of gross and fine motor, communication, problem solving, and social/emotional development. For more information click here.
Musicals at Janney
Following in the footsteps of Janney's 4th & 5th grade production of Once Upon A Matress; Janney's 2nd & 3rd grade students (54 of them) sang and danced their way through Tide Pool Condos. The musical stars Poseidon, Neptune, Tuna, Sharks and a host of sea creatures who try to convince Real Estate Developers that building an apartment building right in their tide pool is a BAD idea. Congratulations to all the kids for making the show a success!
