Hearing and Vision Screenings
Within the Wentzville School District, the well-being and success of your children are of utmost importance to us. To ensure their overall health and academic performance, we are pleased to inform you of our upcoming hearing and vision screening program.
Between October 1 and November 22, we will be conducting hearing and vision screenings in grades pre-K through 3rd grade. These screenings are a crucial part of our commitment to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
Details of the screenings are as follows:
- Hearing Screenings: These screenings will check for any hearing issues that may affect your child's ability to fully engage in their education.
- Vision Screenings: These screenings will assess your child's vision, helping to identify any potential visual impairments that might hinder their academic progress.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the hearing and vision screenings, please do not hesitate to contact your child's school nurse. They will be more than happy to provide you with additional information and address any inquiries you may have.
We appreciate your partnership in maintaining the health and well-being of our students. Together, we can ensure that every child in our district has the opportunity to thrive.
