Health Screening Information:
Parents, Back to school is a busy time of year for everyone! We begin
our screenings for height, weight vision, hearing and acanthosis in the
clinics, early during the fall semester. The Texas Department of State and
Health Services requires that we screen Pre-K, Kinder, 1st, 3rd,
5th & 7th grade students as well as any new students.
We also screen any child that was retained and did not move forward to the
aforementioned grades. When a child
fails two screenings, a referral letter will be sent home with the student. We are
required to complete spinal screenings in the fall as well, and your campus
nurse will send home notification prior to this screening. This applies to 5th
& 7th grade girls and 8th grade boys. If you have any
questions, please call your campus nurse. Thank you!
Padres, ¡El regreso a la escuela es una época muy ocupada para todos! Durante el semestre de otoño, en nuestras clínicas, comenzaremos las evaluaciones de peso, altura, visión y Acantosis pigmentaria. El departamento de servicios de salud necesita que le hagamos la evaluación a los estudiantes de Pre-K, Kínder, 1st, 3rd, 5th & 7th y a los estudiantes nuevos. También examinaremos a los niños que estén repitiendo el año y no pasaron a los grados mencionados. Si el niño/a no pasa dos examinaciones, una carta será enviada a casa. También necesitamos completar evaluaciones de la columna vertebral en el otoño, la enfermera de su escuela mandará la información sobre esta evaluación que será para las niñas en los grados 5Th & 7Th y los niños de 8th. Si tienen alguna pregunta por favor llame a la enfermera de la escuela. ¡Muchas gracias!
