Vision Screening Programs
School nurses are involved in front-line vision screening to determine if students have vision problems and to facilitate follow-up care to ensure academic success within the classroom.
If your child has frequent headaches is complaining of blurred vision or has difficulty seeing the board in class, please let your school nurse know so that she can assess your child and provide care as needed. Good vision can help your child to succeed in school. Seeing clearly is important for learning and even for playing sports and athletics!
