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.

USD 223 Exámenes de visión y audición Comenzaré el examen de audición y visión este mes en las siguientes clases: Preescolares de 3 y 4 años, preescolares, alumnos de 1º, 2º, 3º, 5º, 7º y 10º. Este es un requisito estatal. El examen de la vista implica comprobar: Visión a distancia (capacidad de ver objetos/huellas lejanas) Visión del color (capacidad de ver colores) Reacciones pupilares (capacidad de seguir de arriba a abajo y de lado a lado, y reacciones a la luz) Si su hijo ha tenido un examen de la vista recientemente, avíseme cuándo se lo hicieron y cuál fue el diagnóstico. Si usan anteojos, avíseme cuándo fue la última vez que vieron al oftalmólogo. La prueba de audición implica usar unos auriculares y responder a varios sonidos. Utilizaré un instrumento que evalúa los oídos de los preescolares, se colocará en su oído durante unos 5 segundos. No hace daño. La evaluación tarda entre 7 y 10 minutos en completarse. Por favor, avíseme si su hijo tiene tubos en los oídos y cuándo se los colocaron. Le notificaré los resultados de la evaluación por correo electrónico; puede que me lleve un par de días enviarle los resultados. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre el proceso de selección, no dude en enviarme un correo electrónico a jtegtmeier@usd223.org. SI NO desea que se realicen estas evaluaciones requeridas por el estado a su hijo, hágamelo saber por correo electrónico antes del 27/11/2023, ya que esa es la semana en la que comenzaré los procesos de evaluación.

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!
