Superintendent Burrows Visits Glover on Friday

Over the course of the next few months, before he officially begins on July 1, incoming Superintendent Peter Burrows will be spending periodic days in Milton to learn more about our schools and community. His priorities on these pre-entry visit days will be to spend time inside schools and meet people, support decision making around current and future needs in the district, and lay the groundwork for the start of the 23-24 academic year. You can learn more about his pre-entry plan and schedule here.

Health News: Physicals and Screenings

Health News: Physicalshealth apple.jpeg

Up to date Physical Exams are required for entrance to MPS at any grade level, as well as for currently enrolled rising Kindergarten, 4th grade, 7th grade and 11th grade students. Up to date immunizations are required for entry to MPS and to participate in all after school activities. Please forward this to your student’s school nurse. Details on immunization requirements for School Entry can be found here.

 

Mandated Health Screenings

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. Bill H.4056, section 97 requires schools to conduct annual verbal screenings (SBIRT) for substance use. Pursuant to these regulations, MPS nurses screen students according to the following schedule:

  • Vision: Grades PK-5, 7, and 10
  • Hearing: Grades K-5, 7, and 10
  • Growth (Height and Weight/BMI): Grades 1, 4, 7, and 10
  • Postural (Scoliosis): Grades 5-9
  • SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment, more information linked here): Grades 8 and 10

Parents/guardians will 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 that the nurses are aware of any problems which may interfere with learning and can accommodate any needs that are identified.

Parents may choose not to have their children participate in any or all screenings. Please notify your school nurse in writing by October 1, 2022 if you wish for your student to opt-out of a screening. This must be done annually.

If your student is receiving treatment for a vision, hearing, or postural concern, please provide Nurse LeBlanc with current medical documentation of their condition.
