Hearing tests will be done on all students in grades PK, K,1,3,5 and 7. In addition any new students to Deer Valley Unified School District and any students in resource classes will also be screened. If your student fails 2 screenings with the nurse (spaced 30-45days apart) a letter will be mailed home for a referral with our district audiologist. You will be able to make an appointment with our district audiologist who can screen your student free of charge. You may also choose to see a private audiologist through your private health insurance.
Welcome to the start of a new school year! I will begin screening students for vision and hearing concerns in the next few weeks. If there is a concern about your students' hearing or vision, I will send a letter home to notify you that follow-up is needed. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns regarding these annual screenings.
