Healthy vision and hearing is important for your child’s success in school. State law requires school systems to have students’ hearing and vision screened when they enter the school system and again in first and eighth grades. Hearing and vision screenings are scheduled to begin on/around September 15th, 2025.

Students who should not be included in the screenings include:

Those whose parents/guardians object in writing to the screenings on the grounds that it conflicts with the tenets and practice of a recognized church or religious denomination of which they are a member;

Those with known hearing loss, including but not limited to, students with cochlear implants or hearing aids; and

Those who present evidence of testing within the last year.

If your child falls into any of these categories or if you have any questions, please reach out to the school nurse at 410-479-2333 or via email at brittingham.laura@ccpsstaff.org

Mr. Honer's Science classes took advantage of this beautiful day and worked outside! Thank you to our CCTC for building these beautiful tables paid for by our Community grant. #CougarStrength #CarolineFamily
