During the registration process, parents/caregivers were asked to complete student information cards with contact information in case of an injury, emergency or illness.  Please be sure to keep the information on your child’s emergency cards up to date so that we can reach you.  Any changes can be made throughout the school year in the school office.

Sometime during this school year, vision and hearing screening exams will be performed by a School Nurse team on all students in grades kindergarten, 2^nd, 5^th, 8^th, 10^th and all new students entering the Burbank Unified School District.  In addition to these state mandated screening exams (E.C. 49452), a dental check and assessment of height and weight measurements will be conducted.

In the past, these routine exams have identified those students in need of further evaluation by their health care provider and parents/guardians have been advised to make appointments for the child (ren).  In many cases, these screening exams have identified findings during early stages of vision or hearing deficits as well as dental problems, thereby preventing additional complications and cost to the child and their family.

If you have any further questions, please refer to the 2009-2010 edition of the “Annual Notification to Parents/Guardians” distributed by the district to all students, or speak with me at the Stevenson Health Office.
