The district’s School Health Services program supports your student’s academic success by promoting health in the school setting. One way that we provide care for your student is by performing the health screenings as mandated by the State of New York.
During the 2023-2024 school year, the following screenings will be required to be completed by your Child/Children’s MD or completed at school:
VISION:

• Distance and near acuity for all newly entering students and students in Pre-K or Kindergarten, Grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
• Color perception screening for all newly entering students.

• Hearing screening for all newly entering students and students in Pre-K or Kindergarten, Grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 11

• Scoliosis (spinal curvature) screening for all girls in Grades 5 and 7, and boys in Grade 9

A letter will be sent home if your student needs follow-up with their health care provider.
These mandatory screenings for New York State will start soon for this school year.
We will be starting screenings in the younger grade levels; and continuing with the older grade levels throughout the school year.
These screenings will be completed for those Students that did NOT have them completed at their most recent Health Appraisal.
Please contact the school’s Health Office at (585) 394-4300, ext. 20 if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,
