Vision screening is done with 8th & 10th grade students, in accordance with NJAC 6A:16- 2.2.

Scoliosis Screening (Curvature of the Spine) All students in grades 7, 9 and 11 will be examined for scoliosis by the school nurse.

MEDICAL RECORDS Individual medical records are maintained for each student in the Northern Burlington County School District. From time to time, parents and students are asked to provide the School Nurse with information needed to maintain the complete record necessary for sound medical-health services. Current information is especially important as it relates to immunizations.
