Dear Wildcat Parents/Guardians,

Screening dates for 7th-grade students: 12-16 January 2026- Screening dates for 10th-grade students: 26-30 January 2026
Vision and hearing screenings are conducted to help identify students who may have difficulty seeing or hearing, which may affect academic performance. The screenings are brief, non-invasive, and conducted by qualified school health personnel in accordance with DoDEA guidelines.
Please Note:
- These screenings are not diagnostic examinations.
- If your child(ren) does not meet the screening criteria, you will be notified in writing with recommendations for follow-up care.
- Students who wear glasses/contacts or hearing aids should bring them to school on the day/week of screening.
If you do not wish for your child(ren) to participate, please notify the school nurse in writing. Phone/Email: +39 04441060261 and cristina.hall@dodea.edu
Thank you for your continued support of your child’s health and academic success.
Sincerely,
Nurse Hall
