A Message From Mr. Ladenburger

Ensuring the safety of our students and staff is our top priority at Fremont School District 79.

Vision/Hearing Screening

Beginning October 15, 2024 students will undergo hearing and/or vision screenings by an IDPH Certified Vision/Hearing Screening Technician. Vision screening is not a substitute for a complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye doctor. Your child is not required to undergo this vision screening if an optometrist or ophthalmologist has completed and signed a report form indicating that an examination has been administered within the previous 12 months.

In general, all students in third grade will be screened for hearing. All third, fourth and fifth grade students that are new to our district and/or receive special education services will be screened for hearing and vision.

If a child does not pass the first screening, they will be re-screened two weeks later. If they do not pass the second screening, a letter will be sent to the parents/guardians notifying them that their child will need to see an eye doctor or audiologist for further evaluation.

The parent or legal guardian of a student may object to hearing and/or vision screening tests for their child on religious grounds. If you object, please contact our school nurse, Grace Barajas, at 847-388-3700 x3160.
