Student health screenings are coordinated by Springfield Public Schools (SPS) Health Services and performed each school year for grades K-8.

School Health Screenings:

Health screenings play an integral part in children’s development and well-being. Because childhood health problems can eventually develop into chronic adult conditions, screenings that students are given in school can help detect potential health problems and improve the overall health of every student.

Healthy students are better learners and routine checks ensure that they are healthy and fit so they can meet their full academic potential. School health screenings help in the early detection of health conditions. SPS collaborates with community partners to provide these screenings for grades K-8 each school year.

Questions? Please email our health Aide: delrae.foss@springfield.k12.or.us

For more information please visit SPS Health Services
