Are all first grade students required to have an eye exam?
Due to the late nature of start, the Commission has determined that through January 2009, only children entering kindergarten or first grade for the very first time will be required to have a comprehensive eye examination. If the child was in kindergarten during the 2007-08 school year, that child will not be required to have a comprehensive eye examination for the 2008-09 school year when entering the first grade. However, if the child did not attend kindergarten in the 2007-08 year, but is entering the first grade in the 2008-09 year, that student is required to have a comprehensive eye examination.
