From the Nurse
Hello from the Studley Health Office!
We will soon begin the Massachusetts State Mandated Health Screenings. All health screenings conducted are required by law and these screenings are ongoing throughout the school year. Parents and legal guardians may request, in writing, that their child not participate in the program. This request must be written each year and be specific to which screening you do not wish for your child to participate. The elementary school screenings are as follow:
Vision Screening
Vision screenings are conducted for all grades, kindergarten through fourth grade. Parents/guardians will be notified if the student does not pass and referred to their physician for follow-up.
Hearing Screening
Hearing screenings are conducted for grades kindergarten through third grade. Parents/guardians are notified if the student does not pass and referred to their physician for follow-up.
Growth Development Screening
Growth screenings are conducted for students in grades one and four. Heights and weights are measured and calculated into BMI or body mass index.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
