Health Screenings

Health screenings will be conducted at your student's school following the schedule below. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your student’s nurse.

The health screening is the nurse's way of checking students for possible health problems that might interfere with the student's classroom performance. The nurse will not notify you if your student passes the screenings. The nurse will make a referral for any vision or hearing concerns that are identified. If your child is referred to a vision/hearing specialist, please share the results with your student’s nurse.
