Hearing and Vision Screening

Vision and Hearing screenings will be done in the school library on November 5th this year and we need volunteers!. The new school nurse at Bell, Samantha Young, will be organizing the event. She will be bringing a handful of nursing students with her; however, she needs our help. She has asked for 12 volunteers. The majority of volunteers will be doing hearing and vision screening. One volunteer will be responsible for bringing each classroom to the library for screening. We will receive training at 8:45am in the morning. 

Sign up here:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0444adaf22abf58-hearing3

Note: kids can come with you and play quietly in the library during training if needed. You can then walk them out to their line right before class starts. Screening should likely be copleted by around 1pm.

Any questions, please reach out to Brena Gattuccio at studentenrichment@agbellptsa.org

Student IDs

Did you child receive a student ID this week? Have no fear - they do not need it to get around the building. They were lunch cards that were printed without the barcode so the school passed them out to the kids. Have fun with them! Use them for imaginative play! However they like, the students can have fun with them.
