According to the
Michigan Department of Education, "The parent or guardian of
each enrolling kindergarten student shall submit a statement
signed by a district, county, or city health department director
stating that the child has been administered the department of
community health preschool vision screening test, or signed by a
licensed medical or osteopathic physician or a licensed
optometrist stating that the child's eyes have been examined
during the preschool years after age 3 and before initial
entrance." A vision test is not required if there is a statement
signed by a parent or guardian to the effect that the child
cannot be submitted to the test because of religious
convictions.
Students attending preschool, Head Start or Day Care (age prior
to 59 months) are required to receive HIB (Haemophilus
Influenzae - type B) and Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV7 or
Prevnar). Parents are urged to review these requirements and set
a schedule with their pediatrician or family doctor that ensures
all students will be able to start school on time.
