Health, Student and Staff

Each spring Humphreys American Elementary School students and staff are given the TB skin test.  The results are recorded in the students’ and teachers’ immunization records.

The school nurse, with the assistance of medical personnel from the 168th Medical Battalion and other volunteers, conducted annual screenings for vision, hearing, and dental problems.  Vision and hearing screenings are conducted for each new student who arrives after the scheduled screening for all students.

Fifth and Sixth graders also receive scoliosis exams.  In addition, Fifth and Sixth graders will also participate in a Growth and Development Program every spring.  The program may include special speakers, such as the Pediatrician, and School Nurse who cover the following topics:  puberty, and growth and development.
