COMMUNITY SCHOOL LEARNING EXCHANGE

Through the Community School Model and in partnership with Vision To Learn, Erie High students were able to access critical vision care services on-site this spring. Community School Directors worked closely with school nurses to identify students who had failed vision screenings during the 2024-25 school year. Using a prioritized list, Directors reached out to students and families to coordinate appointments at the mobile clinic. As a result, 20 students received free eye exams and free prescription glasses at no cost to them or their families. Several students shared that they had needed glasses for years, with one reporting daily headaches from squinting and others struggling to see the board in class. This intervention will have lasting impact on student learning and well-being at Erie High!
