Health Screenings

Vision Screening is provided  for grades K, 1, 3,5, and 7 during the school year.  

Hearing screening is provided for grades K,1, 3, and 5 and as requested by parents or teachers. 

Color Vision screening will be done on Kindergarten students. 

Pediculosis checks (head checks for lice)-  It is recommended that parents check their child's head periodically throughout the school year.  Waiting for someone else to check a child's head may delay treatment.  If you have questions about whether or not your child may have lice, contact the school nurses.

Teachers and parents can request that a student be screened if they suspect that a problem is occurring - for example, if a child complains that they have trouble seeing the board, either the teacher or the parent can request that the nurse do a vision screening.Parents will be notified if a child fails a screening. In some cases, we will advise you to check with your health care provider for additional testing or treatment if it is indicated.
