Routine screenings are but one of the many school activities that attempt to provide an optimal state of health for students. The following is the screening schedule for students who are new entrants and for those in grades pre-k through 12.

Scoliosis

Vision

Color perception, near vision, hyperopia

• Administered to new entrants, including pre-k & kindergarten

Distance acuity

Hearing

Parents/guardians are notified in writing of any abnormal results. A referral form is also furnished for the student's health care provider visit. This form should be returned to the school nurse as soon as possible after the follow up appointment.
