VISION SCREENING INFORMATION
Children should have routine vision checks and eye exams to ensure their eyes are developing normally:
- Newborn physical exam: Within 72 hours of birth, a doctor or nurse will check for any obvious physical problems with the eyes.
- 6–8 weeks: A follow-up physical exam to check for any problems that were not found at birth.
- 1 year or 2–2.5 years: A health and development review may include questions about your child's eyesight.
- 3–4 years: A more complete eye exam to ensure normal vision development.
- 4–5 years: Vision screening at school to check for reduced vision in one or both eyes.
- 8, 10, 12, and 15 years: Vision screening should occur at these ages.
If your child has any of the following, you should consider an eye exam by a specialist:
- Family history of eye problems, especially genetic eye diseases
- Signs of misaligned eyes, lazy eye, or nearsightedness
- A red, swollen, or cloudy eye
If your child has special health care needs, they may be at a higher risk for vision disorders and should receive an eye exam from an eye care professional.
HOME VISITS
Attendance is a very vital part of our students' growth. As we strive to help our scholars meet their goal, our Attendance Interventionist Mr. Michael Mathis will be out in the field conducting home visits regularly over the coming weeks and months. If you have any questions, you may contact the Main Office at 313-543-3226.
Thank you!
CHRONIC ABSENCES AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDANCE
Attendance is extremely important here at DCP-REDFORD. Everyday of school missed is a great deal of information to catch up on for a scholar. Please give your child the best opportunity to be successful and send them to school each day, on time.
Chronic absenteeism is a big problem for most schools. Did you know that if a student has a 90% attendance rate they are considered chronically absent? That means they have missed at least 18 days of school. We must begin to correct this trend for the students here at DCPR. Please help us in our goal of decreasing the number of students that are considered chronically absent.
EARLY PICK-UPS & DISMISSAL
Early pick-ups hinder your scholar’s academic progression because they will miss important instruction. To prevent the loss of instruction time, early pick up will end at 3:00 P.M. Scholars will be released to the parents in the pick-up line at 3:30 pm. Walkers will be released at 3:30 pm.
LIVESCHOOL
Hello DCP Redford Families,
Your scholars will be providing you with a printed access code for LiveSchool. Please let us know if you do not receive this code. LiveSchool is a great way to view positive behaviors and see how they’re spending their funds. You can also view areas where your scholar needs improvement.
Once you create an account, you can begin to receive weekly Recap emails. Recaps are weekly summaries of your student's Points data, which equates to dollars that can be spent in the school store.
When you receive a Recap email, click the Magic Link to view a quick summary of your student's Point activity for the last 7 days.
If you have questions, please contact Dean Key via Class DoJo or 313-543-3226.
Thank you!
NWEA TESTING
NWEA Testing runs from now until October 4th. The assessment will assess the growth of all K-8th scholars in the area of math and reading. These scores will be reviewed at the next Parent University on October 15th.
Please be sure that your scholar is well rested and arrives on time daily at 8:05 a.m in full uniform.
