All Students:
Beginning in January, Massachusetts-mandated Health Screenings will take place for all students in Grades 6 – 12. Screenings include vision, hearing, height and weight. These screenings are not diagnostic but are designed to identify students who may need further evaluation. Parents/Guardians will only receive notification if further testing is needed. Parents/Guardians may waive any of their child’s school health screenings if they have documentation of screenings by their Primary Care Provider within the past year. Please contact Mary Beth Doherty, School Nurse, with any questions or concerns at 978-352-5790 ext. 520.
