Your Dorothy Simon or Jean McNair child may be given vision and hearing screenings this school year 2018-19. Vision screening is not a substitute for a complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye doctor. You will be notified if your child does not pass the screening. If your child passed, this screening should not replace an eye appointment with an eye doctor. 

Food allergies are a growing concern in schools across America. Millions of children - children who are perfectly healthy and normal in every other way – must watch every single bite they eat, or risk suffering a severe or even life threatening reaction. In fact, food allergies claim over 200 lives and are responsible for over 30,000 emergency room visits each year.

The 2018-2019 school year is off to a great start. Jean McNair's monthly newsletters are available here for access to Jean McNair news at your fingertips.  

Please look for monthly updates, or as news happens. I will be sending monthly news home each month, so watch for more information and important dates to come home at that time.
