EARLY CHILDHOOD Programs Birth to 3 Early Intervention Program This program serves children birth to three who are experiencing developmental delays in one or more areas of development. Services are family-focused and usually delivered at the child's home or childcare. The purpose of early intervention services is to address the developmental delays the child is experiencing, to minimize their potential for more significant developmental delays, and to enhance the capacity of families to meet the needs of their children. Appropriate early intervention services are individualized to meet the unique needs of each child and his or her family. Some of the service providers might include special educators, speech/language clinicians, educational audiologists, occupational and physical therapists, social workers, nurses and other health care providers. Free developmental screenings and/or evaluations can be provided if you have concerns or questions about the way your child is developing. If you have questions about your child’s development and your child is under the age of three, you can call the Goodhue County Education District at 651-388-4441. If your child is over the age of three, parents or guardians may access these services by calling their local elementary school or the Goodhue County Education District. Early Childhood Special Education To learn more about developmental milestones, visit Help Me Grow Minnesota . Early Childhood Special Education, or ECSE, is a program that supports the needs of children ages three to kindergarten entrance who are experiencing developmental delays. ECSE services are free, as are comprehensive evaluations to determine if a child is in need of ECSE services. Services may be provided in a typical pre-kindergarten class or in an ECSE classroom, based on each child’s needs and team decision. If you have a concern about your child’s development, please call your local school district office or contact Min MartinOakes at 651-388-4441 or mmmartinoakes@rwps.org . Learning Readiness Home Visits The Goodhue County Education District offers a Learning Readiness Home Visiting program. An Early Childhood teacher visits with you and your child at your home, to monitor your child’s development and answer questions you may have about your child’s development. Preschool Programs (3-5 year olds) There are preschool programs offered for three- to five-year-olds in Cannon Falls , Goodhue , Kenyon-Wanamingo , Lake City , Red Wing , and Zumbrota-Mazeppa . These programs offer your child a chance to meet new friends and become ready to attend school as a kindergartner. Early Childhood Family Education Programs (Birth to K) Each district offers a variety of Early Childhood Family Education Programs for parents and children from birth to kindergarten entrance. In these programs there are opportunities to spend time with your child completing projects and playing together, learning new songs and listening to stories. Parents spend a portion of this class time talking with a parent educator about child development, discipline, and other child-related topics. Early Childhood Screening Early childhood screening is a state mandated program offered through your school district for children who are three to five years old. Screening is a careful check of a child's health, hearing, immunizations, vision, growth, speech/language, motor, cognitive development and family factors. Screening is offered periodically throughout the school year. All children are required by Minnesota State law to participate in an Early Childhood Screening program before entering public school kindergarten. Screening is offered at no cost to families. During the screening appointment well-qualified staff will check your child's vision, hearing, growth, immunization status as well as skills in thinking, communication, motor skills and social/emotional development. Feel free to bring any concerns or questions you have about your child’s development to the attention of the screening staff you visit with. Children should be screened earlier rather than later, but all children need to be screened prior to kindergarten entrance. Ideally children should be screened between three and three and a half years old. To schedule a screening appointment please contact your local school district office. Bright Futures Start Here If you have questions about any Early Childhood opportunities for your student, please contact your local elementary school or Min Martin-Oakes at GCED at mmmartinoakes@rwps.org.

Inclement Weather Guidelines Living in Minnesota, we can expect weather challenges during the year, and occasionally these result in disruption to school. We know adjustments to the school day can cause challenges for our families and staff, and we make school closure decisions with high care and consideration. Due to the collaborative partnerships we have with our member school districts - Cannon Falls, Goodhue, Kenyon-Wanamingo, Lake City, Red Wing and Zumbrota-Mazeppa - and their students that attend the River Bluff Education Center, we consult with each of those members concerning school closure decisions. When school closures occur, our district and our member school districts have plans for at-home learning and make-up days depending on school district policies and resources. Decision-Making Guidelines The Goodhue County Education District (GCED) will rely on the National Weather Service/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association meteorologists for weather forecasts, and both transportation teams and county officials for information related to road conditions. The following factors are considered: safety and well-being of students and staff, severity of the weather (extreme cold, flooding, heat, etc.), timing of the weather (overnight, during the school day, etc.) and ability of buses and cars to travel safely. Cold-weather closures will occur at temperatures of 35 degrees below zero (either base or wind chill). The city of Red Wing will be the location of the temperature determination. If a temperature is predicted to rise above -35° by 9:30 a.m., a two-hour late start may be considered. Flex Learning Day Plan The Goodhue County Education District uses Flex Learning Days so that students can still engage in learning during emergency closing days. On a Flex Learning Day, students in grades K-12 will continue learning from home, with support from their teachers, instead of going to school. Teachers will share curriculum-aligned assignments and be accessible through ReachMyTeach, our communication system and through email during regular school hours in order to provide learning support to students. Flex Learning Days are intended to counter the loss of curriculum momentum resulting from school cancellations which can include Minnesota's winter weather conditions. Flex Learning Days cannot replace the face-to-face time students have with their teachers, but they can provide better learning continuity when school is interrupted. Flex Learning Days also negate the need for makeup school days in June, helping families more effectively plan summer activities. Families will be informed by an automated message that the GCED is activating a Flex Learning Day for the River Bluff Education Center (RBEC) programs. 5RiversOnline continues with their regular schedule. Parents/Guardians will receive an automated phone call, email and/or text via the ReachMyTeach service based on information provided by each family indicating school will be closed. Students should not report to school, but should engage in flexible learning activities as assigned. When a school is closed or moves to Flex Learning, the River Bluff Education Center is closed to the public. 5RiversOnline 5RiversOnline will have learning as scheduled and is not subject to weather/other related closures.
