Grade K

Per Oregon law OAR 581-021-0031 Nursing Services will  be partnering with Lions Club of Oregon to screen  Kindergartners.

Grades 1-5 will also be screened annually.

Parents wishing to submit a Vision Health Screening Certification instead of our vision screening need to provide a completed certification form prior to vision screening at their school.  Please print off the form, have your medical provider complete it and return it to your child's school.
