School-aged students shall be screened at seven grade levels: Kindergarten, first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh grades.
Students should bring or wear their glasses and/or contact lenses as they are screened wearing them. Students who have difficulty with the initial screening are re-screened. If there still appears to be a difficulty, parents are notified and follow-up by a health care provider is suggested. I will also screen students at any time based on parent, student or staff request. If you do not wish for your child to be screened, please contact your school health office.
