Should you have your child screened?

Preliminary vision and dental health screenings can give your child an advantage. By detecting potential problems early, you can prevent costly and sometimes painful problems from developing. Additionally, many visual health problems can affect your child's ability to learn, holding them back academically.

However, we recognize every parent's right to refuse this screening. If you don't want your child to be screened, please inform their teacher beforehand.
