Grade 7 Health Screenings
Cohasset Middle School will begin annual school health screenings for Grade 7 on 3/16/26.
Massachusetts Department of Public Health requires all school systems in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to provide postural screenings to students in Grades 5 through 9. The purpose of this is to find early signs of possible spinal problems. It is not a diagnostic service, but a program to identify young people who should have further medical evaluation.
The Massachusetts Department of Public health also requires vision, hearing, and Body Mass Index (BMI) screening to be performed on students in Grade 7. BMI is calculated using a student’s height and weight. BMI data will be collected and reported to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health as a combined number.
Your child’s screening will take place in the nurse’s office. If your child has any abnormal findings, you will be notified.
If you do not want your child to participate in any of these screenings, please email Nurse Erin at ekalberer@cohassetk12.org by the end of the day today. If you have already opted out through the 2025-2026 Confidential Health Form, you do not need to contact Nurse Erin.
Curriculum Night for Current Eighth-Graders
Dear Parents and Guardians of Rising 9th Graders,
You are warmly invited to attend the CHS Curriculum Night on Tuesday, March 24th at 6:00 PM in the CMHS Learning Commons.
This evening is designed specifically for parents and guardians. Students will receive the same information during course selection assemblies held during the school day. During Curriculum Night, our guidance counselors and department heads will introduce themselves, provide an overview of the high school schedule, and share important considerations to help you support your student as they build their schedule for next year.
If you are planning to attend the All School Chorus Concert, please note that it will begin at 7:00 PM, immediately following Curriculum Night.
We look forward to welcoming you and partnering together for a successful start to high school!
