Screenings

State Mandated Screenings

San Angelo ISD addresses state mandated screening procedures by conducting screens for vision, hearing, spinal (scoliosis and kyphosis) and Acanthosis Nigricans (AN).

Vision and Hearing Screening

• Any student referred by a teacher, principal, parent and physician.

• Students referred by Special Education and 504

• All students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades.

• All students new to the state of Texas.

• Bonham Vision and Hearing Screenings: November 10th - 11th, 2025

If a child requires prescription eye-wear or hearing aids, be sure they have these prior to screening dates.

Spinal Screening

• Girls will be screened two times, at age 10 and 12 (or fall semester of 5th grade and fall semester of 7th grade)

• Boys will be screened one time at age 13 or 14 (or fall semester of 8th grade)

• Bonham Spinal Screenings: December 4th, 2025

Acanthosis Nigricans Screening

Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) serves as an indicator of risk for Type 2 diabetes and other chronic health problems. All students in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades are screened for acanthosis nigricans.

Declining Health Screenings

Parents may decline Health Screenings for their children.  If a parent selected "NO" on the SB12 consent form, their children will be automatically excluded from Health Screenings.  If a parent selected "YES" on the SB12 consent form, children can still be excluded from Health Screenings, by printing and signing the "Health Screenings Declination" form posted below.  Please submit form directly to the School Nurse.
