Please be on the lookout for the Lion’s Club vision screening permission form that was sent home with your child this week. Please fill these out and send it back to school by
Sept 27th. This is a free service offered to our students to help assess visual difficulties.
This does count for the vision screening requirement for kindergarten. If you have any questions or need a new form feel free to contact the office, your child’s teacher or the school nurse.
