Good vision plays a vital role in every student’s success—both inside and outside the classroom. Uncorrected
vision problems can lead to difficulty concentrating, disruptive behavior, and struggles with learning and
participation. Beyond academics, poor vision can also affect a child’s social and athletic development.
At VIP Eyes Auburn, we understand that for many families, the cost of eyeglasses can be a challenge. That’s
why we’re proud to continue our mission of giving back to our community through our Annual Gives Back
Day, established in 2015. Our goal is simple: to help as many students as possible see clearly and confidently.
Event Details Date: Wednesday, November 26th Time: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Location: VIP Eyes Auburn 120 Center St Plaza Auburn

DES Parents & Guardians,
If you are planning on picking your child up from school on the first day of school, please send a note in with them stating who will be picking them up (remember office pick up time is around 2:20 - though it will probably be a little later on the first few days of school. And you use the loop near the school for pick up. )
If you are planning on picking your child up everyday, you can just put until further notice on the note. Thank you, this will help our first day dismissal go a lot more smoothly.
