Vision and Hearing:
As required by CDE guidelines, the vision and hearing of students in kindergarten, first, second, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth grades, or of all students in comparable age groups referred for testing, are tested for deficiencies during the school year. The goal of these screenings is to identify children who have a need for further diagnostic testing and prevent delays in development.
Attendance Guidelines:
Immunization Requirements:
All personal exemptions must be renewed annually and must be dated July 1 or later to be acceptable for the following school year. Further details and instructions can be found on the CDPHE website.
