  •  Vision Opt-Out Consent Forms

    Vision Test with student and doctorUnder California Education Code (EC) Section 49455.5, our school has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with a nonprofit eye examination provider to provide eye examinations to our pupils. These eye examinations are supplemental to, and do not replace, the vision screenings required by EC Section 49455. An on-site free eye examination by licensed health care professionals may be provided at your child’s school. The on-site eye examinations are noninvasive and provided exclusively for the purpose of providing eyeglasses if advised. Participating in a school screening has many benefits:
     
    • You do not need to take time off from work.
    • No missed school days or workdays.
    • Free eye examination by a licensed professional.
    • Free prescription eyeglasses.
     
    If your child is screened and found to have urgent problems, your child will be sent home with a letter. If you receive a letter, you must take your child to an eyecare provider for an evaluation. If you want your child to participate in the eye examinations for his/her grade, no further action is required.
     
    If you DO NOT want your child to participate in the on-site eye examinations, please download the Vision Opt-Out Consent Letter below and return it to your child’s school.
