Parents are notified when their children will be required to update vaccines. For more information regarding school vaccinations, please see the resources below:

Health Screenings and Physical Exams
To ensure your child's health is in check, we require students to have regular health screenings and/or physical exams. Regular screening programs help to identify potential issues and allow for a course of corrective action to take place before a condition might worsen.
The following is a schedule of screenings required of your child:
- Growth, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Vision Screenings: Occur in all grades K-12
- Hearing Screenings: Occur in K-3 and grades seven and 11.
- Physical Exams: Required for entry (kindergarten or first grade, grades six and 11). These are usually conducted by a family physician. If you do not have health insurance, contact your school nurse to arrange for a school physician to conduct the exam. This form will need to be filled out by the doctor and returned to your child’s school.
- Dental Exams: Required for entry (kindergarten or first grade), grades three and seven, and are usually conducted by a family dentist. A dental exam will be provided by the school dentist if the dental exam form isn’t returned.
- Scoliosis Screenings: Occur in grades six and seven to determine if there are any concerns about the development of the spine.
