Free Vision Screening for All Elementary Students

Sherwood School District will be be hosting free vision screenings for all elementary students. Vision screenings at Archer Glen will be held on Tuesday, February 6. The testing will be done by Lions Club with helpers using the SPOT screening devices. The test is painless, is done from a distance, and does not touch your child's eyes or face.

Results will come to us in about a week. Most students pass the exam. Due to the amount of paperwork, we will only send home "not passing" results to parents/guardians in student backpack mail. If you want a copy of "passing" results, please contact our Health Services Department.

If you do not want your child to have the vision screening (opt-out) please contact our office. If you have any questions about the vision screening, please call Health Services at 503-825-5093.

Financial assistance may be available if your student needs an eye exam and/or glasses.
