State Mandated Screenings

The district’s School Health Services program supports your student’s academic success by promoting health in the school setting.  One way that we provide care for your student is by performing the health screenings as mandated by the State of New York. 

During this school year, the following screenings will be required or completed at school:

Vision

•   Distance and near acuity for all newly entering students and students in Pre-K or   Kindergarten, Grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
•   Color perception screening for all newly entering students.

Hearing

• Hearing screening for all newly entering students and students in Pre-K or Kindergarten, Grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 11.

Scoliosis

• Scoliosis screening for females in grades 5 and 7, and males in grade 9 who did not have a scoliosis screening noted on their health certificate. 

A letter will be sent home if your student needs follow-up with your health care provider. For vision screenings only, parents will be notified of all results.  Please call the school’s Health Office if you have any questions or concerns.
