Onsite Biometric Screenings
Employees on the WDMCS medical insurance plan are eligible to participate in a free biometric screening at their worksite and earn 500 wellness points. Completing the health screening and health survey are required to qualify for the cash incentive at the end of the school year.
At the screening, you will receive an assessment of:
- Blood pressure
- Waist circumference
- Height, weight, and BMI
- Blood cholesterol (Total, HDL, LDL Triglycerides) and glucose
WDMCS will be notified that the health screening has been completed but does not have access to your biometric screening results. All data is contained within beBetter Health.
Sign up online for an appointment. Enter the required information, then reserve your appointment by selecting your location, date, and time. There are a limited number of appointments, so don’t hesitate!

Are you interested in seeing evidence-based instructional practices and strategies to increase student achievement in action? This winter or spring, make plans to visit a demonstration teacher. A demonstration teacher is an excellent resource for teachers interested in viewing new methods, materials, and instructional strategies.
How to sign up to visit a demonstration teacher >
In addition to in-person visits, demonstration teachers have created and shared videos that highlight different resources and instructional practices. Please contact Amy Spear, demonstration teacher coordinator, with any questions.
