    Hearing and Vision Screening

    According to California Education Code 49454 and 49455, each child shall be provided hearing and vision testing when entering a California school district, and at least every third year thereafter until the child has completed the eighth grade. MUSD screens students in transitional kindergarten, kindergarten and grades 2, 5, 8 and 11, and at first entrance to a Madera Unified school.

     

    Color Vision Screening

    Male students in first grade are screened for color vision. If a parent does not wish to have their child screened, written notice must be provided to the principal.  Credentialed school nurses notify parents/guardians of any suspected problems.
