We are here to assist and facilitate your student’s continuous access to education while keeping our school population healthy and safe.

Hearing and Vision Screening
Posted by Diane Kirson-Glitman on 9/20/2019New this year!!!!
All schools in Vermont have added hearing screening to the usual vision screening for 9th and 12th grades as requested by the Vermont Department of Health and the Agency of Education. The new hearing screening requirements have added two higher frequencies to the test. Should your child receive a screening referral letter for either hearing or vision, please contact your primary health care provider and discuss the results with them. As always, contact us with any questions or concerns.
