Health Screenings Information

MOUNTAIN VIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The Office of the School Nurse

Dear Parents and Guardians,

School Nurses provide health screenings as mandated by the State of NJ (NJAC)6A:2.2; each student will be screened for height, weight, and blood pressure each school year.

Further:

• Students in Pre K, Kindergarten, 2nd and 4th grade, have vision screens performed by opticians (traditionally sponsored by the Lions Club) and the school nurse.
• Hearing screenings are performed on our students in Grades K-3.
• Scoliosis screening is provided for 5th grades... parents/guardians will be informed via a permission form.

Later this year, separate puberty lesson for 5th grade boys and girls will be taught by the PE/Health teachers and your school nurses.  Parents will be informed via a Friday Folder letter.

Thank you,

Angela Housel, RN BSN CSN
