From the Health Office
Happy October! This school year is flying by! Just a quick update from the School Health Services Department. We are working on Vision and Hearing Screenings with most of the students. Please make sure that every student that wears glasses brings them to school with them and wears them throughout the day everyday. This is very important for the health of their eyes, and it increases their learning ability! 
There have been a few changes in the Health Offices this year. All three schools are working towards following the Colorado Department of Education’s guidelines on headaches at school. The students will be allowed to rest for a few minutes with a cool rag over their eyes in a dark area, and they will be encouraged to drink more water. This method has shown to work well over the past two months. Thank you all for your help in keeping our students healthy!
