Nurses Corner
Save The Date!
Our annual School Vision Screening for K and 2nd grades will be February 10th. Information sheets will be sent home this week. All students in grades K and 2 WILL be screened unless a parent writes “No” in the office use box in the top right corner and signs on line 3.
Parents this is a very non-invasive procedure given cost free. Sight Savers is a nationwide program with great results for helping refer students with potential vision deficits. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you!! Nurse Amanda, RN BES
