“Good vision and hearing is essential for proper physical development and educational progress in growing children.”

 

 

Vision Screening

 

Vision Screenings are given according to Indiana state law to Kindergarten, first-, third-, fifth and eighth-graders, those referred and all students new to the corporation. The school nurse informs parents by written referral if the screening test indicates need for medical follow-up. It is hoped that the parent will follow up with a medical provider and share the results with the school nurse for medical school records. If parents need assistance in finding a medical provider or resources for financial assistance, the school nurse may be contacted.
