Dear Ordway Parents/Guardians of Students in Grades K, 1, 2 and 3.
Our School Nurse will be conducting the annual Health Screenings of Vision and Hearing for
grades K, 1, 2, & 3 on Monday and Tuesday, October 16th, and 17th, 2023.
The intent of this screening is to recognize any obvious visual or auditory deficits which could have an impact on your child's ability to learn in school. You will receive written results of your child's screening. A separate notification letter will be sent to parents if the results determine that a follow-up visit to your child’s health care provider is recommended.
If your child wears glasses, please make sure that they bring them to school on October 16th and 17th for their screening.
If you do not want your child screened, please let our school nurse, Carol Beard, know as soon as possible.
While 4th grade students are not required to be included in the health screening sessions, they can be screened by parent request – just let the nurse know if you would like your student screened.
Nurse Carol welcomes any questions you may have regarding the screening process and/or your child’s screening results. Please contact her on 206-780-1453 or at cbeard@bisd303.org
