The Dalton Noon Lions Club will be providing a free eye screening at Blue Ridge Elementary on September 11, 2025. The purpose of this screening is to identify students who have vision problems or may be at-risk for vision problems. Most vision problems go undetected because they are not obvious to the student or parent. If left untreated, the problem may impact the student’s ability to learn. However, early detection and treatment can, in many cases, restore normal vision. This screening, conducted with a PlusOptix vision screener, is non-invasive, and is not intended to substitute for a comprehensive eye examination. Permission forms will be going home this week. If you would like for your child to be screened, please fill out the form and return it to school. Thank you!

El Dalton Noon Lions Club ofrecerá un examen ocular gratuito en la escuela de su hijo en un futuro próximo. El propósito de la evaluación es identificar a los estudiantes que tienen problemas de visión o que pueden estar en riesgo de tener problemas de visión. La mayoría de los problemas de visión pasan desapercibidos porque no son obvios para el estudiante ni para los padres. Si no se trata, el problema puede afectar la capacidad de aprendizaje del estudiante. Sin embargo, la detección y el tratamiento tempranos pueden, en muchos casos, restaurar la visión normal. Esta evaluación, realizada con un evaluador de visión PlusOptix, no es invasiva y no pretende sustituir un examen ocular completo.
Blue Ridge School Dismissal Update:

Due to a power outage caused by a blown transformer and fire damage to a utility pole, a section of Frederick Street is closed. This requires a temporary change to our dismissal procedures for today only.
Regular dismissal will take place at the side of the building.

When exiting Blue Ridge School, all vehicles will be directed to turn left through the parking lot and left again onto Frederick Street. Right turns will not be possible.

Please know that all students, faculty and staff are safe. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure a safe and orderly dismissal.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
