Hearing Screenings:

All students in Special Education and 9th grade will have their hearing checked annually. Other students may have their hearing checked as the need arises. Parents/guardians who have concerns about a student’s hearing should contact the School Nurse. If your student does not pass their screening, a referral letter will be mailed to the parent/guardian with information and instructions to assist you in arranging an examination by a hearing specialist. Please notify the School Nurse if a student requires a hearing aid or if you wish to opt-out of screening.

Vision Screenings:

All students in Special Education will have distance vision checked annually. A referral letter is sent home when a student does not pass screening in order to help you, the parent/guardian, arrange for an examination by a vision specialist. Other students will have their distance vision checked as the need arises. Parents/guardians who have concerns about a student’s vision should contact the School Nurse. If there are financial concerns, parents/guardians should contact their school nurse for possible assistance.
