Vision Screenings
These were completed on all 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade students. If you did NOT receive a letter to home, this indicates that your student passed their screening performed by the Zionsville Lions Club. For the students that were recommended to receive further assessment, please let us know if you need any help with resources.
THANK YOU FOR UPDATING YOUR PAPERWORK
A huge thank you to the parents that have provided updated immunization paperwork. If you have a student that is pending the completion of a vaccination series or needing to get caught up, please remember that students who are not up to date or not “working with us,” will not be able to attend school until this is accomplished. This policy is new to everyone, so please let us know if you have any questions!

If you have a 5th grade student, please remember to schedule your appointment to receive their 6th grade required immunizations (1 Tdap and 1 Meningococcal/MCV4).
