Every year, vision and hearing screenings are performed for students in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th grades.
You will be notified if your student does not pass either the vision or hearing screening. If you receive a referral letter, you will need to make an appointment with an eye specialist or audiologist for further evaluation as needed. Please contact your student's school nurse or health technician if you need assistance finding affordable eye exams and glasses. We have access to vision exam and glasses resources that you may be eligible for!
These annual screenings are required by the state, and may begin as early as August. If you would like for your student to not participate, you must notify the school nurse or health technician before the beginning of each new school year.
