Students new to the District will be screened in the semester in which they enroll unless satisfactory evidence is provided that such screening has been done within the last six months.

Rescreens

Will be performed two weeks after the initial vision screen and four to six weeks after the initial hearing screen. Students will be referred after second screening failure unless there are significant findings that require immediate referral.

Hearing Referrals

One of the following conditions is present:

-          Failure on two separate screenings, four to six weeks apart with middle ear pressure greater than -200 and +100 mm H20 in either ear

-          Failure on two separate screenings at a level of 20 dB Hl at 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000 Hz in at least one ear

Vision Referrals

Referrals will be made based on criteria in the manual of the testing instrument or inability of the student to understand and/or respond to vision screening.

Screening requests

Additional screenings including scoliosis and dental will be done as requested by a parent or teacher, or at the discretion of the school nurse. Students with potential problems will be referred to parents for appropriate medical evaluation.
