Dear Parent/Guardian:
Health screenings at Triton Regional Middle School will begin in Grade 7 Monday, May 9, 2022 and will continue through the end of the school year. Grade 7 students will receive hearing, vision, postural, height/weight, and BMI (Body Mass Index) screenings.
Please notify me by Friday May 6, 2022 if you prefer your student opt out of the health screening process by email: [email protected]
If your child does not meet the criteria required to receive a passing score on the vision, hearing, or postural screening, you will receive notification from me via letter. This is only a screening process; at times further assessment is needed from a Health Care Provider.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions/concerns.
Thank you,
Claudia Small, RN
