If the necessary forms are not completed and returned to the school nurse, school exams will be conducted by the school physician and dentist. Parents will be given notification, via their children, as to the approximate dates of all medical and dental examinations. If you wish to be present at any of these, you may do so by contacting the school nurse for an appropriate date and time. In all instances, parents will be notified of any abnormal findings obtained through the various testing programs.
