Health Screenings
Every student in Texas is required to have vision – hearing – spinal -acanthosis nigricans screening during their elementary and secondary school education. This includes all students new to FWISD.
Students in the 7th grade at BMHS will be required to have these screenings completed. In addition, 8th grade boys- will have spinal screening conducted.
Care will be taken to ensure social distancing and sanitizing headphones between students.
Separate letters are attached for information for students that will have the spinal screening and/or acanthosis nigricans screening completed.
We will begin screening the month of October. Please make sure your child is wearing their glasses or contacts to school.
If your child fails any of the screenings, you will be notified.
If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Masoud by calling 817-815-7100 or email her at sharon.masoud@fwisd.org
Senior College Visit
Wednesday, October 13, our Seniors will be going on a field trip to visit one of the following colleges: University of Texas Arlington, Texas Christian University, and Tarrant County College (Campus Drive). We will depart from BMHS at 9:00 and return no later than 3:00. In order for your child to attend, I must have all permission slips returned no later than Thursday, October 7th.
