    **2024-2025 School Year:  Hearing and Vision Screenings Will Take Place in August for all Kindergarten and New Students**
     
    Screening Guidelines:
     
    Per Arizona Department of Health Services guidelines, Hearing and Vision Screenings are done annually on all Kindergarten students, new (to district) students, and all students who have an IEP.  In addition, students in PK, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades are also screened each school year.  Parents and teachers can request a screening from the school nurse for any student at any time during the school year when a concern with vision or hearing arises. Referral letters are sent home to notify parents if a student has difficulties with any portion of the screening. Students who have difficulty with (do not pass) an initial hearing screening will be retested by the school nurse in 10-30 calendar days, and if still having problems, will be referred to an audiologist for further evaluation.
