We hope to see you there!
🩺 Nurse's Corner
Free Vision Screening 10/19 👓
New this year: grades 6–8! Rapid growth during the middle school years is when nearsightedness and astigmatism often first appear, sometimes without kids noticing.
What do you need to do? Check your answer to "Consent to Medical Screenings" on GCS Student Health Authorizations: Form D in PowerSchool.
- Selected "Yes"? You're all set. Nothing more to do.
- Selected "No" but want your child screened? Fill out the form(click the button below) and I'll add them to the list.
Please fill out one form for each student.
Privacy: If further testing is recommended, I'll notify you discreetly. Students are not told their results.
A screening is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
