Again this year we are pleased to let you know that a Sight and Sound Clinic (Vision and Hearing screening) will be held here at the school. As previously notified, we have received the minimum number of registrations required so the clinic will definitely be happening.
The Toronto Foundation for Student Success (TFSS), a registered charitable foundation of TDSB, is offering a vision and hearing screening at Huron Street Jr. P.S.. The vision screening includes tests for visual acuity, colour blindness, depth perception and strabismus (eye turning in/out). The vision and hearing screenings are conducted by trained International Medical Graduates (IMG) and certified Communicative Disorder Assistants. A nominal fee is charged to cover the services administrative costs.
If a problem is detected at the screening, a note will be sent home to direct you to health care professionals for further evaluation, proper care and follow through.
The vision and hearing screening services are optional. If you are interested in having your child screened, please complete and sign registration form that all students took home before the March Break. Our vision and hearing screening is scheduled on Tuesday April 4th, 2017.
If you are interested and have not yet registered your child extra registration forms are available at the school office.
For your additional information, for children 19 years and below, OHIP covers the cost of the eye examination by the Optometrist once a year.
