Vision Screening for Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade Students

Dear Parents/Guardians of PRE-K, Kindergarten and First Grade Students:

On Monday, November 17th through Thursday, November 20th, the New York City Department of Health will be visiting PS 101 to administer vision screenings for all Pre-K, Kindergarten and First Grade students.

If your child wears eyeglasses, please make sure they wear them on these specific days.

Kindly note, an eye doctor is on-site to provide a follow-up eye exam if students do not pass the vision screening. Since the vision screenings are mandated per Chancellor Regulation A-701, students are eligible for and will receive a vision screening. However, parents and guardians may opt out of the free eye exam by completing the Office of School Health Passive Consent form that was backpacked home with your child and returning this form to your child’s school. If the form is not returned, the student will receive the free eye doctor exam and glasses, if recommended.

If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to your child’s classroom teacher, or contact our Parent Coordinator, Ms. Bing Xing Lin at 347-563-4680 or via email at BLin9@schools.nyc.gov.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Gregg Korrol

Principal
