To identify potential health barriers in order to maximize the student’s ability to learn, the district conducts the following screenings mandated by state of California: (Ed Code 49455, 49456, 49452.5)
Vision
Grades K,2,5,8 and first year in the California public school system
Hearing
Grades K,2,5,8 and first year in the California public school system
Scoliosis
Girls – Grade 7, Boys – Grade 8
In addition, students who are being assessed for initial and three year review for special education services, and students referred by a teacher or parent will also be tested for vision and hearing. Those who do not pass the initial screening will be retested. Parents will be notified and referred for further follow-up only when a problem is identified. Parents may submit a written request for exemption from any of the above health screenings.
