According to Massachusetts General Law, chapter 71, section 57 with related regulations 105 CMR 200.000 mandates that school nurses do periodic screenings of vision, hearing, growth (height and weight) and posture as follows:
Vision: Grades PreK-5
Hearing: Grades K-3
Growth (Height and Weight/BMI): Grades 1 & 4
Postural (Scoliosis): Grades 5 & 6
Parents/guardians will only be notified if a vision, hearing, or postural screening requires further evaluation. Included in this notification will be a request for a report from your healthcare provider of their findings so we are aware of any problems which may interfere with learning and can accommodate any needs that are identified.
If your child is receiving treatment for a vision, hearing, or postural concern, please provide current medical documentation of his/her condition.
