It is a state law that all school aged children 4 years old by September are required to have their vision screened.
Vision screening is required for students in:
- kindergarten
- first
- third
- fifth
- seventh graders
- any other first-time entrants (4 years through 12th grade) are required
To be certified as a vision screener to screen students the required training is provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Nurses, health aides, teachers, volunteers may attend the training.
Certification is good for a period of 5 calendar years.
The continuing education (CE) credits are NOT applicable for nursing credit.
Should your plans change and you are not able to attend the training please be courteous and cancel your registration. In the event there is a waiting list this will give those on the list an opportunity to take the training. Thank you for your cooperation.
