Important Notice Regarding State-Mandated Student Health Screenings:

Our school continues to conduct state-mandated health screenings for students in required grade levels. These screenings include vision, hearing, spinal (scoliosis), and acanthosis nigricans and are completed in accordance with Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) guidelines. When appropriate, a vision photo screener may be used, including for students with disabilities who may not respond well to other traditional screening methods. 

Throughout the fall semester, students were screened based on parent opt-in consent forms. Updated guidance has clarified that moving forward, these screenings are now conducted on an opt-out basis. We value our ongoing partnership with families and remain committed to keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s health. 

What this means for families: 

·         No action is needed if you would like your child to participate in the screenings. 

·         If you do not want your child to be screened, please contact your campus nurse,  Rebecca Manaska at rmanaska@dentonisd.org to opt out by February 1st. 

·         If you have already opted out, no further action is needed. 

·         Screenings on campus will resume February 2nd. 

If your child does not pass a screening, you will be notified by email through SNAP Health Center, our secure student health system. If you have any questions or need additional information or resources, please contact your campus nurse, Rebecca Manaska at rmanaska@dentonisd.org
