District Hearing/Vision Screening

Vision and hearing screening is conducted for students in their schools according to the Colorado Department of Education guidelines. These guidelines indicate that students in kindergarten, first, second, third, fifth, seventh and ninth grades, and exceptional needs students receive vision and hearing screening. Because of the important connection between a student's academic achievement and their vision and hearing, parents are encouraged to observe their student and seek a medical evaluation for changing or significant concerns. The school clinic aide may be contacted for information regarding health and community resources available to parents.

 


Section 504

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is Congress’s directive to schools receiving any federal funding to eliminate discrimination based on disability from all aspects of school operation. 

 


The health and wellness of our students is as important as academic achievement, and the district has a wellness policy and a health education policy.


Accident and Dental Insurance

Our students’ safety and well-being is our greatest concern and we want them to have medical care in case of an accident. We encourage parents and guardians to enroll their children in accident and medical insurance programs. There are several low cost plans available including K & K Insurance Group. Review their premium costs here and see a flier and enrollment form. Check with an insurance company for additional plans.

The State of Colorado offers Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+), which is for families that earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but cannot afford private health insurance. The State of Colorado Website provides additional information about medical insurance programs.
