If a combination of OPV and IPV is used, four doses are required. There are several screenings required by Indiana State Law. All first grade students are given a Modified Clinical Technique vision screening at school by a local optometrist. Third grade students are given a vision screening by the school nurse. In addition, all students new to the school corporation or students referred by staff or parents are given a vision screening by the school nurse.
Any student failing any screening is referred for further evaluation.
Third grade students are given a school dental inspection by a local dentist. This consists of a quick visual exam that screens for decay, gum disease, poor brushing habits, or need of professional cleaning, orthodontia, or space maintainer. A report is sent home to parents that indicates whether dental care is needed. It is recommended that your family dentist be visited every six months for a complete dental examination and necessary care. First through fifth grade students are able to participate in a fluoride mouth rinse program.
