Health Appraisals
New York State mandates that children be screened for vision, hearing, and scoliosis depending on their grade level. Our state also mandates that parents submit a health appraisal on children in 9th and 11th grade and any newly entering children. In addition to a health appraisal our state requests a dental certificate to be submitted on students in 9th and 11th grade and any newly entering student.
Screening Requirements
- Newly Entering Students: Distance and near point vision, color perception, hearing and scoliosis for grade 9 boys
- Grade 11: Distance and near point vision and hearing
- Grade 9: Scoliosis screening boys only
Letters will be sent home to the parents of any student who fails the mandated screening.
