Dear Evans and Meister first grade parents,
In accordance with state law IC 20-8.1-7-16, every child in either kindergarten or first grade shall be given an annual vision screen using the modified clinical technique or MCT by a licensed optometrist.
On January 10th, 2023, both Evans and Meister will be having an optometrist come from the Indiana Optometric Association to perform the MCT vision screen on all first graders. There will be no charge for these thorough examinations and parents will receive a copy of their child's exam results. Referrals for further treatment will be provided if needed.
If you have any questions or concerns about this test or wish for your student to not participate, please call your building nurse.

Good afternoon River Forest Community Members,
The extension of the child nutrition waivers was not included in the Omnibus spending bill posted today by the Senate Appropriations Committee. If the waiver extension is not included in the final bill, the waivers will end on June 30, 2022, causing millions of children to face a hunger cliff when they lose access to summer and school meals.
These waivers have been critical in supporting nutrition operations so that children have access to school, afterschool, and summer meals throughout the pandemic, and they are still needed to help schools and families recover from and respond to the economic, health, and educational fallout.
This will massively affect K12 nutrition programs. If you have a few minutes, please reach out to Senators Braun and Young and request that the waivers be added to the Omnibus Bill. Friday is the deadline to encourage them to support the waivers as the senate votes on Friday!
