Notes from the Nurse

Vision screening on Tuesday for kinder, 1st, 3rd and 5th grades. Please make sure if your child wears glasses that they have them on Tuesday for the screening.

We will be finishing up hearing screening for any student that was absent on their day, rescreens will be in 2 weeks for those who did not pass, most times it is due to having a cold or ears plugged up. Notices will go out if there is an issue after the rescreens.
