CPS provides access to free vision exams for students. The CPS Vision Program will be visiting Waters School on Friday, October 23. The program provides eye exams and glasses (if needed) at no cost to the student. Though, if available, health insurance will be billed. If the student does not have insurance, the vision exam and eyeglasses are provided at no cost to the family.
Parents please complete the english vision form OR the spanish vision form and return to your teacher or main office as soon as possible. |
