Health Screenings

The school nurses are busy working on completing health screenings as mandated by the PA Public School Code.  Height, weight, and vision screenings will be completed on students in grades K-12.  Hearing screenings will be completed on students in grades K-3, 7, and 11. Scoliosis screenings will be completed on students in grades 6 and 7.  This includes all Penn Manor Virtual School (PMVS) students.

Health screening results are posted to the Parent Portal in Sapphire.  The Health Screenings include height/weight, vision, hearing, and scoliosis in applicable grades.

Starting the 26/27 School Year:  BMI calculations will no longer be included on your student's individual District Health Screenings Report posted to their Sapphire Account.  If you would like to know your student's BMI, please provide a written request to your student's building Certified School Nurse.
