Note from the School Nurse – Act 20 of 2026, Part 4 states that students may now be exempt from height & weight measurements upon a parent or guardian’s written request. Each year the school nurse, along with the Tuscarora Intermediate Unit, provide free health screenings to all students. This includes height, weight, vision screening and hearing screening. The data from these screenings is stored confidentially. While these screenings for height & weight are kept confidential, some students find this distressing. If you would like to only have vision and hearing screenings and not the height & weight screening for your child/children, please notify the school in writing by Friday, October 9.
