Mandated Hearing/Vision/Spinal/Acanthosis Screening
LVISD health services are gearing up for the DSHS mandated screenings. As a reminder mandated screenings are as follows:
Vision: Pre-K, Kinder, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th
Hearing: Pre-K, Kinder, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th
Spinal: Fall semester of 5th and 7th-grade girls, the Fall semester of 8th-grade boys
Acanthosis: 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th
Please be on the lookout for notices to go out for spinal screenings. This way the girls may be reminded to wear sports bras or snug tank tops on the day of screening. It is required for them to remove their top shirts and allow for the spine to be visualized by 2 nurses at the same time. If you do not wish for your child to undergo the mandated spinal screen, please provide a hand written parent letter providing they are under the medical care of "_" physician and have/will under screening with them, or provide a doctors note. If we do not have these doctors' notes prior to the screening date, all eligible students will be screened per state mandate.
Here is our tentative schedule for the mass screening:
Primary Screening: October 5th, 6th, and 7th
Intermediate Screening: October 13th, and 14th
Junior High Screening: October 20th and 21st
If your student is not at school on those days, we will call them down on a make-up day. Our goal is to have it all completed by the end of the fall semester.
If you would like more information on any of the above-mentioned mandated screening by the State of Texas please feel free to visit the LVISD Health Services website HERE.
