Dear Parent/Guardian:
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.
Starting next week, the following screenings will be completed at school if not conducted by your student’s health care provider:
Vision
- Distance and near acuity for all newly entering students and students in Grade 11.
- Color perception screening for all newly entering students.
- Hearing screening for all newly entering students and students in Grade 11.
- Scoliosis (spinal curvature) screening for all boys in grade 9.
A letter will be sent home if your student needs follow-up with your health care provider. Please call the school’s Health Office at 242-5000 ext. 4515 if you have any questions, concerns, or would like to opt your student out of the screening.
Thank you,
BHS Nurses
