USD 223 Vision and Hearing screening I will begin the hearing and vision screening this month on the following classes: 3 and 4 year old preschoolers, kindergarteners, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 10th graders. This is a state requirement. The vision screening involves checking: Distance vision (ability to see objects/prints far away) Color vision (ability to see colors) Pupillary reactions (ability to follow from top to bottom and side to side, and reactions to light) If your child has had a recent eye exam please let me know when they had it and what the diagnosis was. If they are wearing glasses please let me know when they last saw the eye doctor. The hearing screening involves wearing a set of headphones and responding to various sounds. I will use an instrument that evaluates the ears of the preschoolers, it will be placed in their ear for about 5 seconds. It does not hurt. The screening takes 7-10 minutes for both to be completed. Please let me know if your child has ear tubes and when they were placed. I will notify you of the screening results via email – it may take me a couple of days to get the results to you. If you have any questions about the screening process please feel to email me at jtegtmeier@usd223.org. IF you do NOT want these screenings that are required by the state performed on your child please let me know via email by 11/27/2023 as that is the week I will start the screening processes.

Congrats to Gavin Turk on becoming the single season leader in rushing yards, rushing attempts, and touchdowns. Here is Gavin pictured with the previous holder of these records, Shane Ohlde. Gavin also wraps up his career 2nd on many of the rushing categories. Gavin played 21 High School football games for the Bulldogs. Also a big shout out to fellow Senior Will Olson for paving the way for every carry, yard, and touchdown of Gavin's career. You two will greatly be missed!

We listened to Juan Bendaña as the keynote on bringing energy, courage, and confidence as leaders in our chapter, school, and community. We took time for a chapter meal and rounded it out with a group reflection on the keynote speaker before winding down for the night.
