*Please note: All scholars in Minnesota are required to complete an Early Childhood Screening before they enter PreK/Kindergarten at any Minnesota public school. The best time to complete this screening is before your child’s 4th birthday. Cologne Academy/STARS does not complete screenings, however, we have compiled a resource list of neighboring districts for you to reference to schedule your child's screening.
