NOTIFICATION OF SERVICES

2014-2015

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Throughout the school year we will be providing several screenings for the students in Cumberland County. The Coordinated School Health program conducts these screenings in order to identify students who may have a health risk. We routinely screen a variety of students in the appropriate grade levels. Each year we screen students in grades K, 2, 4, 6, 8, and high school students, including Lifetime Wellness. The data (not names) is sent to the TN State Department of Education.

The Cumberland County Health Department, Lion’s Club, other community health care providers, and trained school personnel will be assisting with these FREE screenings with strict adherence to the confidentiality of each child and adolescent screened. We will be screening students for the following throughout this school year:

B.M.I. (Body Mass Index) Hearing

Vision Dental Speech/Hearing

Height/Weight Blood Pressure

If we screen your child and find any alterations from a normal screening, we will contact you concerning this matter. There are NO CHARGES for these services.

If you wish for your child to NOT participate in these FREE screenings you may write a note to your child’s teacher. . Please feel free to contact your school nurse or the CSH Coordinator should you have any questions. Thank you for allowing your child to participate as we promote a healthy lifestyle to our students in Cumberland County.

If you do not want your child to participate please send a dated and signed note to your child’s teacher.

Thank you,

Tammy Stewart, School Health Coordinator
