7th Grade Vision Screening Scheduled
Your 7th grade student will have a vision screening at school on December 7th by Phillips Eye Institute's Early Youth Eyecare (E.Y.E.) Community Initiative, part of Allina Health.
While this screening is designed to identify issues with your child's vision, it is not considered to be a full eye exam. If you child does not pass the vision screening, you will be notified with the recommendation to have your child receive an examination by an eye doctor for further evaluation. E.Y.E. can assist with scheduling the examination, as well as provide interpreter services, transportation, and financial assistance with exams and glasses.
If you have questions or do not want your child to participate in the vision screening, please contact Nurse Chi (School RN) at 651-888-7655 or 651-744-8237.
