Student Health Screenings

FREE PLAYSMART HEART SCREENING AT SHERWOOD HIGH SCHOOL

SHS is partnering with Providence Heart and Vascular Institute to offer a free PlaySmart Heart Screening on Thursday, February 20, 2020. The screening will measure your child’s height, weight and blood pressure and will include an EKG/ECG (which records the heart’s electrical activity) that will be reviewed by a Providence Cardiologist. The screening is painless and non-invasive. Results will be sent from Providence directly to you by email or U.S. mail. Your child may be screened during PE class or they may come during a non-core class.


There are two forms (see below) to be completed (in ink, please) in order for your child to receive this free screening. You can download and print them or you can get the forms from the SHS main office or through your child’s PE teacher. Please return the completed forms to the SHS main office or your child’s PE teacher by February 14th. Children age 12-18 are eligible for this Providence program. We will be offering another PlaySmart screening on April 7, 2020.

FREE DENTAL SCREENING FOR CHILDREN AGE SEVEN AND YOUNGER

Dear Parent/Guardian: We will have free dental screenings by a local Dentist at our elementary schools for children age seven or younger who have not been to a dentist (please see dates by school below). This is a screening only and no treatment will be given. You may already have turned in a form to your school to say that your child has been to a dentist, or that the screening is against your family’s beliefs -- if so, your child will not be screened. Screening results will be sent to you in backpack mail and also go into the student file.


If you wish to opt-out of the screening, please contact your school office. For more information about the screening call Health Services at 503-825-5485.
