Screenings & Immunizations
STATE MANDATED SCREENINGS
California state law requires that every school district provide vision and hearing screenings for students enrolled in high school. In Culver City Unified School District, the screenings are performed by one or more of the district’s school nurses in the fall for all 10th grade students. Additionally, we provide vision and hearing screenings for any students who are receiving special education services and all newly enrolled 11th and 12th grade students. Please encourage your child to wear his/her glasses/contact lenses on the day of the screening. You will only be notified of the results of the screenings if a referral for professional follow-up is needed. You can contact the school nurse at (310) 842-4200 x3332 to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have.
If, for medical or religious reasons, you do not want your child to participate in the mandatory screenings mentioned above, you are required to submit your request in writing (including the date of your request, your child’s name, date of birth, grade, reason for request, parent/guardian’s name and signature) to the nurse’s office.
We can only honor requests that are received in the nurse’s office prior to the screenings. Check the school calendar for the date that screenings will be performed. Your request is valid for the current school year only.
