The Anne Arundel County Department of Health vision and hearing technicians and school nurses will be conducting mandated vision and hearing screenings in the following Glen Burnie area schools and programs in March:
- March 10 - Ferndale Early Education Center
- March 15 and 16 - Marley Glen School, Ruth Parker Eason School
- March 17 and 21 - St. Paul’s Lutheran School
- March 23 - Granite Baptist Church School
- March 28 and 29 - Solley Elementary
Children who wear glasses should bring them to school on the day of the screening.
Children are screened to detect vision or hearing problems that may impair their ability to perform successfully in school. If a potential deficiency is detected, a letter is sent to the parents informing them of the results. The parents are advised to contact the child’s doctor for further testing and advice.
