  - On May  20, 2025, Ottawa County Health Department will be at AHS to conduct vision screening for all 9th grade students. If you would like to opt your child out, please send an email with your student's name to Heather Lake at [email protected] by May 1, 2025. Hearing and vision screenings are one of the "silent" functions of your Department of Public Health. In the school settings, hearing is screened during Kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 4th grade. Vision is screened in 1st grade, 3rd grade, 5th grade, 7th grade, and 9th grade in conjunction with driver's education. There is no need to wait until the screening year if you have a concern about your child's hearing or vision. Please call us right away. The earlier a problem is identified, the sooner it may be corrected and permanent damage may be prevented!
