News From the Nurse

Monday November 18th is Willagillespie’s annual school health screening. Lane County Dental Prevention will do a quick dental exam for all students and fluoride varnish and/or sealant application for those that returned the yellow permission form sent home earlier in the year. The Oregon Lions will perform vision checks using a Spot screener for all students.

If your student wears glasses or contacts, please have them bring those to school and wear them for the vision screening.

A white paper will come home in their homework folder about 2 school weeks after the clinic with your student’s results.

If you are not interested in having your student screened for dental, vision, or both, please let me know at least two school days before the screening. Please include the specific screening you are opting your child out of and the reason (religious or have submitted proof of vision/dental care previously to the school).
