Screenings: The Health Office does vision screenings (for all new students to MPS and special ed students), hearing screenings (for all 9th graders, new students to MPS and special ed students), and scoliosis screenings (for all 7th graders). If your child does not fit into one of these categories but you would like him/her screened for vision, hearing or scoliosis, please call and request a screening.
Chronic Health Conditions: If your student has a serious chronic health condition, such as anaphylaxis (severe allergy to a substance where an epipen is needed at school for a life-threatening allergic reaction), asthma, diabetes or seizures, please click on the condition, print out and complete the District health-care plan and bring it to the Health Office. We will put the care plan into place and make sure all of the student's teachers are aware of his/her condition.
