Health Screenings

Kinder, 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th grade Vision and Hearing Screenings will be on November 5th

Fifth and seventh will have the Scoliosis Screening and the Acanthosis Nigricans screening. The AN screening consists of checking the skin on the back of the neck for discoloration that can be a sign of high insulin levels. 

If a child has had any of these screenings by the pediatrician this current year, and the parent does not want them screened again, provide the nurse with a copy of the test results before November 5th and they will not screened. 

If there are any concerns on the first screening, the child will be retested a few weeks later. A referral to the parents to have their child be seen by the doctor will be sent home if any concerns show up on the second screening. 
 

Remember Germs Spread Fast!  Wash those hands, use hand sanitizer, cover your cough, and stay home if sick. 
 
Excuse notes  for absences need to be emailed to nurse@gcahtx.com
