Health Screening
for 2017-18
As part of the
eight components of school health, School Nurses conduct periodic vision,
dental, hearing, blood pressure, and other screenings as recommended by SC
DHEC, and as needed as part of the nurse's assessment during a health room
visit. These screenings are important in early detection of hearing or vision
difficulties that may affect teaching and learning. Many times a student is not
even aware he/she is having difficulty seeing the board, reading, or hearing classroom
instructions. Please contact your child's school nurse, Martha Becht, if you do
not want your child screened.
