NEWS FROM OUR HEALTH ROOM
Hello from the Health Room!
In accordance with Nebraska State Statute, #173 NAC 7, Millard Public Schools are required to provide a health screening that includes a dental, vision, and hearing screening as well as weight and height. The health room will be doing a full screening on students in Pre-K through 4th grade. Kindergartners will only be screened for the items missing on their Kindergarten Physicals. You do have the option to opt your child(ren) out of the screening process. However, there is a form that needs to be filled out and signed by a physician before September 19th, 2025. Contact the Neihardt health office at (402) 715-8361, or email Neihardt's school nurse, Julie Varner at javarner@mpsomaha.org.
