Dear 7th grade Parents/Guardians:
Hearing and vision screening will be held the week after Thanksgiving for all 7th grade students. The purpose of this screening as mandated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health is to identify students who may have hearing or vision issues requiring medical follow up. The school nurses will be conducting the screenings for 7th graders during physical education classes the week of December 2nd - December 6th, 2024. If your child has contact lenses or glasses, please be sure your child wears his/her contacts or brings his/her glasses to school to use during the vision portion of the screening.
If you prefer to excuse (opt out) your child from either the hearing and/or vision screening, then please click here to complete the opt out form by Wednesday, 11/27/24.
If you would like your child to participate in the screenings, then please do not complete the form. You will be contacted if your child does not pass either of the screenings and requires medical evaluation.
Please email Tricia Williams directly at twilliams@email.medfield.net if you have any questions or you can reach the Blake School Nurses in the middle school health office at 508-242-8554.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
