All health screenings conducted in school are required by Massachusetts State Law.

Screenings are ongoing throughout the school year. If you do not wish your child to participate, you must write a letter to the school nurse declining your child’s participation. This letter must be written each year and be specific to which screening you do not wish your child to participate.

Vision screening is done in grades 1-5, 7, and 10
Hearing screening is done in grades 1-3, 7, and 10
BMI (Body Mass Index) screening is done in grades 1, 4, 7, and 10

You will be only be notified if your child’s vision or hearing screening is outside of the normal limits. You will be notified by a screening referral letter.
