Vision & Hearing Screening is here!

Volunteered Needed

Colorado Law (C.R.S. 22-1-116) states that grades K,1,2,3,5,7, and 9 shall be tested each year for vision and hearing. The school may also screen students in Special Education (SPED), new to the district, or referrals. It is important to note that this is a screening, not a complete exam. If your child has prescription glasses or contacts for distance vision, please have them wear or bring them to the screening. 

Screening results:

Children with concerns should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.  

You will receive a referral letter if your child does not pass.

Please take the referral letter to your appointment and have the provider complete the bottom of the form and then return it to your school’s health office/school nurse.

Standards for hearing and vision are available using these links.
