Dear Parents,
Once again District Health Department No. 4 will be doing hearing and vision testing on our elementary students as mandated by Public Act No. 368 of the Public Health Code of 1978. Vision testing will take place for all children in grades preschool, K, 1, 3, 5, 7 and also drivers education students. Hearing testing will be done on all children in grades preschool, K, 2, and 4. Both hearing and vision will also be provided to elementary special education students if they are not in a regular classroom less than ½ day.
The testing will take place on December 8, 9, 10, 11.
Parents will receive a referral to see and eye/ear specialist if their child does not pass the screening and meets referral criteria. Assistance is available for families having an financial need.
If you do NOT want your child to be screened, please notify the school in writing PRIOR to the screening dates. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the elementary office at 231-238-6868 ext. 3.
