Emotional Health Screening through the E3 Program
The Hortonville Area School District provides free and confidential emotional health screening for all K-12 students.
Screening is key to early intervention and support for social emotional and mental health needs. Students have improved outcomes when emotional health needs are recognized and supported before they become impairing. Free, confidential mental health screening is available to all HASD students. This screening looks for signs that your student may be struggling and helps you decide what care your child may need.
Research shows that early detection and intervention of social emotional impairment significantly improves overall outcomes, including success in school. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends psychosocial health screening annually. The E3 program makes it possible for every HASD student to access free and confidential screening right at school.
For students in grades K-6, the screening questionnaire is completed by a parent or guardian. The screening includes the Pediatric Symptom Checklist, a brief questionnaire that helps identify emotional and behavioral problems in children.
For students in grades 7-12, an E3 screening questionnaire is offered annually in the student’s regular classroom. This screening tool includes the GAD-7 and PHQ-A, evidence based screening tools that assess symptoms of anxiety, depression, and suicide risk.
E3 screening is available by request at any time throughout the year. Please contact Crystal Ludwig at crystalludwig@hasd.org to complete a screening questionnaire on behalf of your student or to request that we check in with your student to offer screening and support or following this link: E3 Student Screening
