BOSS Vision and Hearing Screening
10/25/2007 - Added by: Ashley Martin
Dear Parents,
Ohio law requires that children in grades Kindergarten, First, Third, Fifth, Seventh, and Ninth must be screened for vision and hearing deficits. All new and transfer students (for whom no screening record for the previous twelve months exists) must be screened during the year they enter the new school. You can print the ODH vision and hearing form from our information page. Please have this screening completed by a licensed professional and return to BOSS as soon as possible.
Ohio law also requires immunization records to be current and up to date. The Ohio Revised Code states that: “Pupils enrolled in Kindergarten through grade 12, are required to have written proof on file at their public or non-public school stating that they have been immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella, and Hepatitis B.”
Exemptions include pupils who present a written statement that immunization is objectionable for religious reasons or other reasons of good cause. Similarly, a pupil is exempt if he/she presents a physicians statement that immunization against particular disease, (or all diseases), “is medically contraindicated.”
If you have any questions please feel free to call.
Thank You,
