If the School Nurse identified any findings for your child during the screening process, a letter will be sent home to inform you and ask that you seek a medical screening or evaluation for the identified issue.
Please let your school nurse know when you have followed up with the physician and if we can assist with any necessary accommodations if required.
Please contact your school nurse if you have any questions about the screening process.
