***STATE MANDATED SCREENING***
The school nurse will perform the NY State mandated screenings if no recent
documentation is received from the student's private physician.
** 5th Grade: I will begin vision, hearing, and scoliosis screening on this year's
5th graders in October.
** 4th Grade: I will begin vision, hearing, height, weight, BMI assessment,
and blood pressure screening, as well as scheduling physical

resently been completed by a private practitioner and presented
to my office) in November.
** 6th Grade: I will begin scoliosis screening as well as presenting an introduction
to the district sports physical process beginning in January.
