Hearing, Vision, and Dental Screenings

  • Lawrence Public Schools conducts periodic hearing, vision, and dental screenings in school per Kansas state statutes to ensure all students can access curriculum and instruction. Any student who does not pass their screening will receive a notification of a needed follow-up referral.  

    Parents/Guardians who DO NOT want their children to participate in any or all of the screenings must opt-out for each child in PowerSchool the day before the screening is scheduled. If you need assistance completing the opt-out process in PowerSchool, please contact your child's school nurse.
