I always get immunization and physical stuff out of the way right away since my state requires reporting by 10/31. Then after that I move right into vision/hearing screening. My goal is to get that...
I would make that call home as well. This way they are looking out for any problems when they're home as well. I always like to let parents know if I've seen their child often for a recurring...
