3rd & 5th Grade Health Screening
During Kindergarten, 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades, students are mandated by the State of New Mexico to undergo a health screening. The screening consists of vision and hearing testing, blood pressure, height and weight checks. During this school year, the health office will be calling students from class for this purpose. If you are an 3rd or 5th grader, please be sure to wear your eyeglasses or contacts when you are called by our office.
