The State of Wisconsin Eye Exam form is provided at kindergarten registration and is also available online or in each school office. This form documents that a complete eye examination was performed, not just a vision screening. Specifically, the State of Wisconsin encourages parents of kindergartners to arrange for their child's eyes to be examined by an optometrist or evaluated by a physician by December 31 of the child's first year in school. An examination or evaluation should include, at a minimum, the elements listed below.

State Statute (s.252.04) and School Immunization Requirements
|
Immunizations are considered one of the greatest medical achievements for the 20th century. Vaccines prevent disease in people who receive them and protect those who come in contact with unvaccinated individuals. Diseases that once killed many children and adults are rarely seen today because of immunization. But these diseases are still around, especially in other parts of the world. Vaccination continues to be one of the most important things you can do to protect your child and yourself from dangerous disease The Williams Bay School District is requesting that parents follow the immunization guidelines set forth by the CDC and the State of Wisconsin.
