October is here and fall is in the air in the mornings and evenings! Typically, I am a summer person but I have to say I am starting to enjoy fall more and more. Maybe it is the sheer pleasure of seeing the students settled in their routines and telling me about their year. The stories crack me up daily during lunch and dismissal when I get a chance to chat with the students. Our first month of school flew by here at Montgomery. MAP testing is finishing up and results will be included with report cards. Please continue to reach out to the office or your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns.
Best,
Amy

HELP NEEDED WITH VISION AND HEARING SCREENINGS
Nurses needed to assist with vision and hearing screenings in October at Montgomery Elementary. Training will be provided by Susan Linton the day of the screening. Half days or all day available, morning 9:00 - 11:30 am or afternoon 1:00 - 3:30 pm. Dates of the screenings are September 29, October 8, October 13, October 25 and October 27.
Please email Susan Linton at lintons@sycamoreschools.org or call 686-1733.
To Parents and Guardians,
Vision and hearing screenings will be administered on September 29, October 8, 13, 25 and 27 to students in kindergarten, first, and third grade as required by state law. Vision screening will consist of distance visual acuity, binocular vision, and color vision for kindergarten and first grade. Third grade vision screening will consist of distance visual acuity. The hearing screening will consist of an audiometry for kindergarten, first and third grade.
If your child does not pass the vision or hearing screening, the school nurse will send a letter to share the results and make a recommendation for further evaluation by an eye care specialist or audiologist.
A vision and hearing screening only provides a snapshot of how your child performs on the day the screening was administered and is not a substitute for a complete vision and hearing evaluation by an eye specialist or audiologist.
If you have any questions about the school vision and hearing screening program, please call Susan Linton, Montgomery Elementary School Nurse at 686-1733 or email lintons@sycamoreschools.org.
Thank you.
