Scottsboro City Schools would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Scottsboro Lions Club for their very generous donation of a SPOT Vision Screener for our school nurses.

Prevent Blindness recommends vision screenings for students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, 2nd grade, 5th grade, 8th grade, and 10th grade. Building upon the success of the Lions Club’s annual mass vision screenings, this new screening tool will allow our school nurses to provide “real-time” vision screenings for new students and students experiencing difficulties throughout the school year.

Early identification of potential vision problems gives parents ample time to have their children evaluated by an eye care professional when they do not pass a school vision screening. Addressing vision concerns as early as possible can make a significant difference in a student’s ability to learn and have a successful school year.

This screening tool is also especially beneficial in identifying and referring students who may be at higher risk for vision problems, including children with special needs or medical conditions that may affect their vision.

Thank you to all the members of the Scottsboro Lions Club for your generosity and continued support of Scottsboro City Schools and our students. We are truly grateful for your partnership and commitment to the children in our community.
