The West Ada School District is providing vision and hearing screenings, along with dental services, for students in grades K, 1, 3, and 5, with parental permission. These services are usually done during the school year, causing students to miss valuable instructional time. To address this issue, West Ada will be hosting Health Fairs this summer to offer these services, along with summer meals and other valuable resources.

The West Ada School Health Fair will be held on June 13th at Meridian High School and on June 25th at Desert Sage Elementary in Boise. These fairs will offer immunizations, vision screenings, hearing screenings, and dental services to help ensure students are healthy and ready for the upcoming school year.

Immunizations will be provided by Central District Health, and appointments can be scheduled online. Vision checks and quick hearing screenings will also be available to help students maintain their eyesight and hearing health. Additionally, dental services, such as fluoride varnish applications, will be offered to promote lasting dental health.

Parents with children in grades K, 1, 3, and 5 are encouraged to attend the Health Fairs and provide permission for their child to receive these essential health services. By participating in these events, families can take a proactive step towards building a healthier community.
