Screening
Students are screened for vision, hearing, dental, height, weight and pediculosis [lice] annually through third [3rd] grade, once in fifth [5th] grade and the last time in seventh [7th] grade. Students that do not pass the hearing exam will be rescreened by Ms. Wilson during November. There is one more round of screening to do before the hearing results are completed. If a student does not pass their second hearing screening [actually it is three screenings including the KUSN] the parents will be notified of the results.

Safety For information about kitchen safety, window blinds, cribs, windows, furniture and other hazards around the home visit: www.usa.safekids.org.
Approximately 2,096 children in the U.S., ages 14 and under, die from accidental injuries in the home each year and 3 million kids are treated in emergency rooms
for accidental injuries occurring at home. Most fatal injuries at home are caused by fire, suffocation, drowning, choking, falls, poisoning or firearms discharged
unintentionally.
Safe Kids Kansas urges parents and caregivers to check their homes for basic safety precautions. The first step in childproofing a home is to explore every room at a child’s eye level. “Literally get down on your hands and knees and crawl around. You’ll be surprised at how much you can reach and how many small objects you can pick up,” says Jan Stegelman, State Coordinator for Safe Kids Kansas. “Anything that can fit through a standard 1½-inch toilet paper tube is a potential choking hazard. Of course, cleaning products, medications, alcohol,
firearms and other potentially harmful products need to be stored out of reach and locked up.”
Safe Kids Kansas also recommends these precautions:
- Test your smoke alarms every month.
- Always supervise children while they are in the bathroom. Children can turn on hot water or touch curling irons and sustain serious burns, or cut themselves with a razor that has been left out or
put in the trash. Never leave young children alone in the bathtub – a child can drown in a matter of seconds. - Install a self-closing and self-latching gate around the home swimming pool.
- Always supervise young children while they’re eating; avoid foods they can choke on.
- Prevent serious falls. Keep furniture away from windows, install safety gates at the top and the bottom of stairs, never use baby walkers and use protective surfaces beneath playground equipment.
- Avoid exposing children to potential poisons. Keep potential poisons out of children’s reach, including cleaning supplies, pet food, medicine, vitamins, beer, wine and liquor. Keep the poison control number available: 1-800-222-1222.
- Install carbon monoxide detectors in every sleeping area and test them every month.
- Keep guns locked, unloaded and where kids can’t reach them. Lock up ammunition in a separate place.
- Keep emergency numbers by every telephone. Call 911 if a child is choking, collapses, can’t breathe or is having a seizure. If you suspect a child has been poisoned, call 1-800-222-1222. If you have a babysitter, make sure she know how to call for help and how to
contact you. - Check your first aid kit to make sure it is fully stocked.
“Safety comes first, even if it means making your home a little less convenient for adults,” says Stegelman. “Safety gates and cabinet locks are a small price to pay to keep a child out of the emergency room.”
