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 August:
- August 24 - Joy in Learning Glen Burnie
- August 30 and 31 - Creative Garden Glen Burnie
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.
