Required Screenings

The Vision and Hearing requirements apply each year for children enrolled in any licensed child-care center and licensed child care home or school program at the ages or grades listed below:

• Children who turn 4-years-old by September 1, kindergartners or any other first-time entrants (4 years* through 12th grade) - screening must be done within 120 days of admission

ECS uses photoscreening:

Photoscreening is a form of pediatric vision screening that uses a special-purpose camera to determine how well a child can see. It is an alternative to visual acuity-based screening with an eye chart  

If your student does not pass their hearing and or vision exam, a referral will be sent home. This is NOT a diagnosis, only a reccomendation that you seek further testing.
