A new Missouri law, the Children’s Vision law, requires all children entering kindergarten or the first grade to have a comprehensive eye exam from a state-licensed optometrist beginning July 1, 2008.
By January 1, 2009, parents/guardians shall provide to the school district proof of the required vision exam. The form to be used for completing this vision exam can be obtained from me or the website listed below.
If you would like more information about this subject, we suggest that you refer to the resources provided on the Missouri Optometric Association’s Web site (www.moeycare.org). In the left-hand column of this site, click on the link to “Children’s Vision Law" or you can contact me at 568-4562 or vwilliams@mail.bloomfield.k12.mo.us.

Welcome to Nurse Vicki's Health Page!
Welcome Back Wildcats! My personal mission as the school nurse is to serve our students and their families the best way possible to keep them healthy and safe at school. Students cannot achieve maximum learning potential unless they feel safe and are well, and it is my personal goal to help facilitate this by helping students and their parents make appropriate decisions concerning health related matters. Please check back frequently; I will be adding documents and links related to your child's health. Heres to a healthy new school year!!
