Vision Screening

A Vision Screening will be carried out at our school the week of January 23^rd 2017 for all grade seven students.

This screening program is designed to uncover signs of any possible vision difficulty that may interfere with school progress. It is not intended to be a substitute for the vision examination performed by an Ophthalmologist/Optometrist. Children who are currently wearing glasses will not be screened.

If after the vision screening has been completed you receive a notice from the school requesting that you refer your child for a professional eye examination, please follow up by making an appointment with an eye doctor of your choice. Ask the eye doctor to complete the form sent to you by the school and then return this completed form to the school.

If you require any further information, please contact the school at 888-1990.

The decision whether to try alcohol or other drugs may be one of the biggest your child could face. The evening, facilitated by our AFM counsellors, will be an information session for parents and caregivers on this important issue. Together we will look at current trends and statistics, understanding why kids experiment, how to talk to your child about drugs, parent prevention strategies, and community resources available to parents and youth including AFM programs.
