Health Screening Information
- Height, weight, and blood pressure screenings are performed yearly on each student.
- Vision screenings are performed annually for students in Pre Kindergarten through sixth grade and again in eighth grade. A referral will be sent home, requesting an evaluation by an eye doctor, if the student's vision is above 20/40 acuity in either eye.

If a student has difficulty with the initial screening, the student will be re-evaluated.

- If at any time, you suspect a problem with your child's vision or hearing, please contact the school nurse and the testing will be performed.
