Health Screenings: Mandatory Screening Programs are conducted by the School Nurse in accordance with state law and the Texas Education Agency recommendations in each program. Parents/guardians are contacted by the school nurse and a referral letter is sent should a problem be identified. The child’s physician/dentist should return a report to the school nurse within 30 days.
VISION AND HEARING SCREENING: Students in PPCD, Pre-K, K, 1st, 3rd, & 5th grades are screened annually, as well as new students to Texas and referrals to special education.
ACANTHOSIS NIGRICANS SCREENING: Students in 1st, 3rd, & 5th grades are screened annually.
SPINAL SCREENING (SPINAL): Students in the 5th grade will be screened to identify small spinal curves for referral for early observation and treatment before the spinal curve becomes severe.
DENTAL SCREENING- A visual dental screening is conducted annually in February for 3rd grade students by volunteer dentist from the community coordinated by the NEISD School Health Advisory Committee.
GROWTH AND ASSESSMENT- students are weighed and height is measured bi-annually at the beginning of the school year and in the spring. Should any parent/guardian have a question regarding any of these screening programs or wish to have their child excluded due to religious reasons, please contact me at 564-1688 ext 248.
