3. AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS After School programs will be starting after Labor Day. Please look for information to be posted on our school website later this week.

4. NO PARKING ON CANYON ROAD DURING PICK-UP Please do not park on Canyon Road during pick-up time. This makes it difficult to see oncoming traffic for those pulling out of the parking lot. This is at the request of our school’s Safety Committee.

7. CRIBADO AUDITIVO Our school’s Hearing Screenings will be on Thursday, September 19. Our district’s team will do hearing screenings for all K-3 students, special education students, and 4-6 students new to the school. Let our school’s speech language pathologist, Joy Smith, know if you have any questions ( joysm@provo.edu).

8. VISION SCREENING From our school nurse: It has been estimated that as much as 80% of learning occurs visually. Currently, vision disorders are the 4th most common childhood disability in the United States with one in four children having an undiagnosed vision problem. Our school is committed to ensuring every student is healthy and ready to learn.

In support of our commitment to promote healthy learners, our school nurse along with trained volunteers will conduct school-wide distance vision screening the morning of Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 10, 2024. If your child wears glasses or contacts, please have them wear them the day of the screening.

La visión de un niño puede cambiar a medida que crece, por lo que es importante que los alumnos se sometan a revisiones periódicas para identificar a aquellos que puedan necesitar ser atendidos por un profesional de la visión.

Early detection and treatment of a vision problem is critical to your child’s educational success, health and wellbeing. You will be notified if your student does not pass the vision screening after the rescreening process.

Aunque las revisiones escolares son importantes, un examen ocular completo realizado por un optometrista o un oftalmólogo es el estándar de oro.

If you do not want your child to participate, complete the opt-out form (access below) and return it to your child’s teacher before Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 10, 2024. We look forward to ensuring every child is healthy and ready to learn. Please let our school nurse, Necia Bess, know if you have any questions ( nbess@provo.edu).
