Grade 7 Vision Screening

A vision screening will be carried out at John W. Gunn School in the next couple of months, (Oct-Jan). A specific date or date(s) will be sent to the school.

VISION SCREENING - conducted with students in grades K, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9

The vision screening program is designed to detect signs of possible vision difficulties which may interfere with your child’s learning and school progress. It is not intended to be a substitute for the vision examination performed by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist (eye doctor) and glasses will not be prescribed at this time. Students wearing prescription glasses will not be screened. Following the initial screening, you may receive a letter from the school division recommending that your child see an eye doctor for further assessment.

PLEASE NOTE: Because the screenings take place only once per year at each school, parents of children who are absent at the time of the vision screening will also receive a letter recommending follow-up, as no further school screening will occur.
