It's officially SPRINGTIME!
I love SPRING! It brings about busy schedules but it also brings later sunsets, blooming flowers, and birds chirping.
April when is we begin to see the finish line of the school year. The primary students are focused on mastering grade level skills while the 3rd & 4th grades are working hard on state assessments. With all that we have going on this month, there is so much to enjoy & celebrate! Be sure to check out 'Look What's Happening' so you don't miss out.

Why it matters:
Since many vision problems begin at an early age, you should make sure your child gets the recommended eye exams to help keep their eyes healthy. Healthy vision is important for your child’s overall development and learning ability.
Signs of vision problems:
Not all vision problems show obvious signs. Here are some things to be on the lookout for:
•Frequent eye rubbing/blinking
•Short attention span
•Frequent headaches
•Reading or looking at screens close up
•Going “cross-eyed” or squinting
•A pupil that looks white when light shines on it
•An eyelid that looks droopy or partially covers the eye
What can you do:
•Watch for signs that your child is having trouble seeing and notify their doctor right away if you notice any.
•Make sure that your child is having yearly eye exams. These can be done more often if you are concerned that there is a problem.
•Talk to your child’s teacher about what can be done in the classroom if you think that your child may not be seeing well.
•PROTECT your child’s vision by having them wear sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays.
•PROTECT your child’s vision by making sure that they always wear proper protective sports eyewear.
