Nurse/Health

We are concerned about the health and well-being of all our students. All buildings have a Nurse to help monitor the Health Suite. Please use the guidelines located to the right for your child’s school-related health concerns.

NOTE: Any serious illnesses or injuries should be diagnosed by a physician and the student should not be sent to school for evaluation.

Immunization Requirements

Yearly Screenings

Each year your child will receive the following screenings:

Height, Weight, & BMI - This is state mandated. 

Vision - All students have a vision screening each year.  All first grade students have their screening performed by the School Eye Doctor.  This is only a screening and does not take the place of a complete eye exam.

Hearing  -  Screenings are performed each year on students in Grades K-3 and again in grades 7 and 11.  This is only a screening and should not take the place of a complete hearing exam.

 

BMI Information

Pennsylvania requires schools to report Body Mass Index (BMI) for all children in the same way they report vision and hearing screenings. 

BMI-for-age percentile shows how your child’s weight compares to that of other children of the same age and sex.  

If you do not have access to a computer, please contact your school nurse to receive this information.

Please call your school nurse or physician with any questions.
