Vision, hearing, and spinal screening is beginning in Arlington ISD. Students routinely screened for vision and hearing are those in grades Pre-K 4, K, 1, 3, 5, and 7. Those who routinely receive spinal screening are girls in 5th and 7th grade and boys in 8th grade. Due to challenges from COVID, some students in routine screening grades may not be screened this school year.
