PREVENT BLINDNESS: MAGEE'S VISION SCREENING
VISION SCREENING INFORMATION
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Healthy vision is important for learning and success in school. 1 in 20 preschoolers and 1 in 4 school-aged children has a vision problem, and it is not always easy to detect. Sometimes children have trouble seeing and don’t even realize they are seeing the world differently than others. For most children, 80% of learning happens visually. Vision problems can make it hard for children to read and learn, and unfortunately, many fall behind in school or show behavioral problems.
To make sure your child is vision ready for success in school, Health Services will conduct a Vision Screening for elementary students during the school year. This screening is for distant vision only through Prevent Blindness.
Magee Elementary Health Staff will be conducting vision screenings for students in all grades on Wednesday, October 18th, 2023. If your child wears prescription glasses or contacts, please make sure they bring/wear them to school for the screening.
If your child is not successful at the first screening, they will be screened a second time. If they are not successful with the second screening, we will send a letter home asking that you schedule a complete eye exam for your child with an eye doctor. If no concerns are detected during screening, you will not receive a letter.
Parents are given the opportunity to opt out of this screening process. If you would like to opt your child out of school vision screening for the 2023-24 school year, and did not indicate an opt-out during online registration, please send an email to me-healthroom@kmsd.edu. Include your student’s name, grade and teacher and that you choose to opt-out.
If you have any questions or concerns about the vision screening process at KMSD, or have concerns about your child’s vision, please contact Patricia Schuetz, RN, Magee School Nurse.
Thank you!
We also rent space and are happy to facilitate your events, courses, or activities.

All Magee girls are invited to join the Magee Girl Scout Troops! New kindergarten and first grade troops are forming now; interested girls in grades second through fifth will join welcoming existing troops. Girl Scouts meet in a nurturing, inclusive environment to earn badges, develop friendships, and have fun! They go on age-appropriate adventures, complete service projects, learn about nature and science, and explore the arts and their communities. Each troop meets once a month and often has additional optional activities throughout the year. Please email Amanda at ANStack@yahoo.com for additional information.
