Centennial Middle School will conduct annual hearing screenings on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, according to a Oct. 20 statement. The screenings are intended to identify children who may be experiencing hearing difficulties, supporting their ability to learn, communicate, and succeed in school.
The screenings will include all 7th grade students, children receiving special education services, and students who are new to the school or district. Additionally, students whose parents, guardians, or teachers have expressed concerns about their hearing will be screened.
The procedure is described as a simple, noninvasive process that takes a few minutes to complete. If a student is absent during the scheduled dates or does not pass the initial screening, a follow-up screening will be conducted at a later date. Families will be notified if results indicate a continued concern that may require further evaluation.
Parents may opt out of the hearing screenings by sending a signed note with their child stating they do not wish for the service to be provided. Questions regarding the process can be directed to district audiologist Jeramy Jenkins at jeramyj@provo.edu.
