Cool Creek Connections
Vision Screening Tests Scheduled for October 14
In accordance with Indiana Code (I.C. 20-34-3-12), all students in Kindergarten or 1st grade, as well as those in 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades, are required to receive a near and far visual acuity screening.
What is a Vision Screening?
Your child will be asked to read letters or symbols from a chart at two distances:
● Standing 10 feet away from the chart (for far vision)
● Holding the chart in their hands (for near vision)
● Each eye will be tested separately by having the student cover one eye at a time.
This screening helps identify any issues with seeing clearly whether far away (like reading the board or screen) or up close (like reading books or using a computer).
Important Reminders:
● If your child wears glasses or contact lenses, they should wear them during the screening.
● Please remind your child to bring their glasses or wear their contact lenses to school.
If Your Child Needs Follow-Up:
Students who have difficulty during the screening will receive a letter sent home with the results and a recommendation to see an eye doctor for a full evaluation.
If your child needs glasses, already has glasses that are broken or no longer work, or needs help getting vision care, please contact the school nurse. We can help connect you to resources.
Opting Out:
If you do not want your child to participate in the vision screening, you must send a written note to the school nurse before the screening date. The note must include:
● Your child’s full name
● Date of birth
● A statement that you do not wish for them to participate in the screening
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your CCES school nurses, Nurse Anne and Nurse Rachael. Thank you for helping us support your child’s health and learning success!
