Health Screenings Taking Place Soon!
The district’s School Health Services program supports your student’s academic success by promoting health in the school setting. One way that we provide care for your student is by performing the health screenings as mandated by the state of Nebraska.
Our annual health screenings for grades 1,2,3,4,7,and 10 will take place on October 4 and 5, 2022. They will include a height, weight, hearing, vision, and dental check. Please make sure to send your child’s eye glasses to school on these days. The SCC nursing students will assist in the completion of the screenings. A copy of results will be sent home.
If you have any questions, please contact Danielle Schelbitzk, District Nurse.
