Slate Valley provides the services of certified and registered school nurses. Students needing to see the nurse should secure permission from their teacher. Vision and hearing, height and weight, and blood pressure screenings are conducted for all students on a yearly basis. Scoliosis screening is also completed yearly for grades five through eight.
By law, it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their child is properly immunized and that these immunizations are kept up-to-date. Parents are encouraged to keep the nurse informed of pertinent information for their child.
