Students enrolled in Omaha Public Schools are provided free health screening in accordance with Nebraska State Statute.

Students in early childhood, kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, seventh, and tenth grades are screened for hearing, vision, dental, height and weight per the rules and regulations set forth by the state of Nebraska. The screening is conducted to help identify health concerns in as early a stage as possible, in an effort to enhance learning. Screening is not intended to be diagnostic, but to identify students with potential problems. Screenings are conducted throughout the school year and may begin as early as August. 

Contact your school nurse for any questions regarding screening.
