We perform state mandated screenings: vision and hearing (grades PK, K, 1, 3, 5, & 7 as well as students new to the district); spinal (grades 5 & 8) and acanthosis nigricans (visual screening to identify students at risk for developing Type II diabetes in grades 1, 3, 5, & 7 for the children each year.
