3 SEPTEMBER 20, 2016 HEALTH NEWS Each year in Northshore schools, students in grades Kindergarten, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 receive hearing and vision screenings. Our school is scheduled for health screenings on Monday, October 10, 2016 All school districts in Washington State are required to provide these services. However, you as parents have the right to exempt your child from any or all of these health screenings. Please contact your school nurse, Darleene Matheson, dmatheson@nsd.org or (425) , if you have questions regarding screening exemptions. It is important to understand that these are basic screenings, and are designed to identify students who may require further testing. They are not intended to replace regular exams by qualified health care providers. A student who fails any screening will be rechecked in a few weeks, and you will be notified only if there are concerns after the second screening. There are a few important things to remember as the screening date approaches. Vision Vision is screened for distance using a Snellen chart at 10 feet. If your child wears glasses or contact lenses for distance vision, please be sure they have them on the screening day. Hearing If your child has a hearing loss and is being followed by a health care provider or specialist and you do not wish for them to participate in the screening, please let the school nurse know. If you have concerns about hearing loss and school accommodations, contact your student s teacher or the school nurse. As in past years, we do rely on the assistance of parent volunteers to work with our screening team. There are a variety of important jobs that parents do, including assisting the team with the screenings, record keeping and crowd control. Please consider this opportunity to work with us, and fill out the below volunteer information and an all school volunteer packet, available in the office, if you haven t done one within two years. Thank you. HEALTH SCREENING VOUNTEER Yes, I would be happy to help with the Health Screening on Monday, October 10th. Please call me. Name Day Phone Hollywood Hill 24-Hour Attendance Line (425)
