- All 5th, 8th or new-to-Zionsville Schools students will have a vision screening at school on Friday, September 20th, 2024.
- The Indiana Department of Education requires annual vision screening for all fifth and eighth graders, and newly enrolled students. This screening is performed by the Lions Club of Zionsville. Students who test at 20/40 or above will be recommended for further examination. This screening does not replace a complete eye evaluation given by a physician but is a fair assessment of visual acuity.
- If your student wears glasses or contacts, please encourage them to wear them for the screening on Friday, September 20th, 2024.
- *If your child is recommended for a follow up visit, please let us know the results of that exam after they have visited the doctor. Also, if you need assistance with your child’s vision referral for financial or other reasons, the Lions Club of Zionsville may have resources to assist.
- Please call, or email us at zwmnurse@zcs.k12.in.us for more information.
