Overview 

Public schools in Texas are required to perform a hearing screening and report the results of these screenings conducted June - May of each year through the Child Health Reporting System (CHRS) between January 15 and June 30 of each year on the following students within the first 120 days of school:
  • 4-year-olds (by 9/1)
  • Kindergartners
  • Any other first time entrants (4-years through 12th grade)
All 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th graders anytime within the school year (preferably within 120 days of enrollment)

See https://www.dshs.texas.gov/vhs/require.shtm


To assist with this reporting requirement, districts may run the Hearing Screening State Report in Aeries at the district or school level. A summary totaling all schools selected will be available when the report is run at the district level for more than one school.

Only data entered on the Hearing page with a Test Date (HRN.TD) between June 1 and May 31st of the school year will be included on this report.
