Health Screenings for Virtual Students
Our District has scheduled a "second chance" health screening clinic for LISA Academy virtual students in Central Arkansas. These health screenings are mandated by the State and vary based on grade level.
If you have not already had your child screened, please plan to bring your child for screenings during this clinic. You may use the form below to schedule an appointment- appointments are recommended to limit wait time and ensure social distancing. The clinic will be held on Friday, February 5, 2021 at the District Office.
Address: 10825 Financial Centre Parkway, (2nd floor), Little Rock.
Appointment Sign up Form: https://forms.gle/t8jTHhSugd9npYnG6
If you have questions, you may notify the school nurse on your student's campus for more information. Students who have already been screened this year by LISA Academy school nurses do not need to attend this event.
Thank you for your support of LISA Academy.
