HEALTH SCREENINGS

Each year, ABSS conducts student health screenings to better serve the students in Alamance County. Trained and certified staff members perform hearing and vision screenings. Parents/guardians and school staff can request a screening at any time. Screenings are conducted at selected grade levels, and parents/guardians can contact their child’s school for specific dates and times. Hearing screenings are conducted for grades Pre-K, K, 1, 3, and 5, while vision screenings are conducted for grades 1, 3, and 5. Parents/guardians will be notified in writing if a student fails a health screening and may need additional evaluation and/or follow-up care. Parents/guardians who do not wish to have their child screened must opt out of the screenings in PowerSchool.
