Health Screenings
NJ law requires that the school nurses perform health screenings on all students. These screenings include height, weight and blood pressure for all grades. Vision screening for 10th grade, and hearing for 11th grade. Scoliosis screening will be done on all 9th and 11th graders.
If you do not want your child screened for scoliosis / they are already being seen by a physician for this reason, please complete the form below, and return to the nurse's office.
