Please refer to the Dogwood/Hawthorn/Osage Beach/Hurricane Deck Elementary Student/Parent Handbook covering students Pre-K – 4.  It contains detailed health-related information on pp. 37 - 39.

Know that Height, Weight, Hearing, and Vision screening are performed for Kindergarten and First Grade students generally starting in October.  If you do not want your child screened, please advise the school nurse in writing early in the fall semester. 

Students who transfer into our district during the year are screened as above.

First and Second Grade students undergo Dental Screening, usually during Dental Health month in February.  This is screening only, NOT hygiene or treatment.
