From ACS:
Dear Alton Central School Families,
According to education experts, 80% of learning is visual. If a child can’t see well, it makes it much more difficult for them to learn. Unless vision problems are detected early and corrected, they risk becoming permanent.
Tuesday, December 16th, the Lions Club will be coming to Alton Central School to offer a free vision screening to all our students, sponsored by the Wolfeboro Lions Club Operation KidSight Program.
The process uses a Welch-Allyn Spot Vision Screener, which takes an instant scan of your child’s eyes to determine the possible presence of eye disorders
Your child will look at a blinking light for about a second
There is no direct physical contact with your child
No eye drops are involved
The screener has the capability of detecting Amblyopia (lazy eye), nearsightedness (Myopia), farsightedness (Hyperopia), astigmatism (asymmetrical focus), strabismus (misaligned eye), and anisometropia (unequal power between eyes)
This is a great non-invasive opportunity to have your child’s eyes screened for any issues and offers a much more comprehensive picture of your child’s vision health than our traditional screening.
If you DO NOT WISH for your child to participate in this program, please call or email the school nurse at aelliott@sau72.org by Friday, December 12th, to let her know you would like to opt out of the program.
If you already opted out of health screenings on your child’s Student Health Form, or if we have not received your child’s Student Health Form, your child will not participate in this screening.
If you have any questions, please call April Elliott at 603-875-7500 or email: aelliott@sau72.org
Thank you,
April Elliott, RN
