Nurse Mallory’s Corner

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Vision and hearing are vital to your learner’s academic success in school. Screening will be conducted on Tuesday, October 1st.

Schools are required to administer hearing and vision screenings to the following groups of learners each school year:

  • All learners enrolled in Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades.
  • All learners who are newly enrolled in Colorado SKIES Academy.
  • All learners with special education services learners will be excluded from hearing screenings for the following reasons:
    • The learner is deaf or hard of hearing and/or wears a listening device (will be referred to an audiologist).
    • The parent informs the school nurse of the desire to have their learner excluded from testing.

If your learner has documentation of medical vision and/or hearing testing within the last 12 months, we request that you provide a copy of the results to your school’s health office.

If you would like to exclude your learner from screening, please reach out to me via email.
