2.VISION AND HEARING SCREENING- State law requires all students attending pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades receive a vision and hearing screening. This is done in September and October. It is free and parents are notified only if there is a problem. All students from out of district will also be screened. If you suspect your child has a hearing or vision problem, call the clinic and we will schedule a screening.

Students are admitted only with parents' permission. There will be a Parents Preview Night in the early spring when parents can view the videos and ask questions. We will send you the
specific date later. 

4. ACANTHOSIS NIGRICANS SCREENING- This screening looks for hyperkeratinization of the skin appearing as dark pigmentation on certain areas of the
body. This screening is done with 3rd and 5th graders This marker may indicate high insulin levels. The great thing about this screening is that through modification of eating habits and exercise, insulin levels can frequently be lowered. This marker does not mean your child has diabetes. If the child is found to have this marker, parents will be notified so that you may follow up with your physician

5. DENTAL SCREENING- This screening is done by a local dentist at the school and is coordinated by the nurse. This is a screening of 3rd grade students. The screening is usually done in the spring.
