School nurses provide health education and counseling as needed and conduct a variety of screenings as mandated by the State of NJ.  Per  NJAC Chapter 16 6A:16 2.1-2.2, each student will be screened for height, weight, and blood pressure every school year .

Students will be screened in 9^th and 11^th grade for scoliosis unless the student has submitted proof of a physical examination or the parent requests in writing that the student be exempt from the screening.

 A vision screening will be conducted on all 10^th grade students and a hearing test will be conducted on all 11^th grade students.

State guidelines are followed to monitor student immunization records and tuberculosis skin testing.  Mantoux skin testing for tuberculosis is currently required for some new students entering from specific countries. You will be contacted by the school nurse if your child requires testing.
