Dear Parents:
Health Screenings will be conducted on November 1, 2016 (vision, height & weight, and hearing) at Fox Hollow Elementary School. These screenings are required by Florida statutes.
- Kindergarten: Vision, Hearing
- First Grade: Vision, Ht/Wt/BMI, & Hearing
- Third Grade: Vision, Ht/Wt/BMI
- New students to Florida in grades K – 5: Vision & Hearing
You will be notified of the results of the vision & hearing screenings only if medical follow up is necessary.
These screenings do not replace your child’s need for regular health care and check ups. If you do not want your child to participate in screening, you must send in a written request for exclusion at least one week before the screening date listed above.
If your child wears eye glasses please make sure that they bring then to school on that day. Also you may visit the following website to calculate your child’s body mass index.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Respectfully,
Antoinette Beneduci, RN-BC
