SCREENINGS

The Department of Education states that public schools will complete vision screenings for students in Kindergarten and grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Furthermore, hearing screenings will be conducted in Kindergarten and grades 1, 3, and 5. It is recommended that students in grade 7 also be screened. Re-screening can be done any time a teacher, parent, or student requests. Parents are only contacted if there is a need for referral or unusual findings are found.
