Vision Screening (Lions Club)

On Tuesday October 31, the Lions KidSight Foundation will be at IMS to conduct a school-wide vision screening utilizing spot screener technology. These screenings produce images of a child's eye to determine the presence of eye disorders including far-and near-sightedness, astigmatism, anisometropia (unequal reactive power), misaligned eyes, cataracts, and amblyopia (lazy eye). No physical contact is made with a child and no drops are used during the vision screening. This screening is approximately 95 % effective in detecting problems that cause reduced vision.

Attendance Intervention Meeting (AIM)

AIM meetings serve as the initial intervention for students facing attendance challenges. AIM represents a collaborative effort between C-I Schools, the Isanti County Probation, and the Attorney's offices. When students accumulate three unexcused absences, we refer the student to the Isanti County Probation Department and they are invited to attend an AIM meeting held at the courthouse.
