2023-2024 School Year
Health Screenings- Vision and Hearing - on November 2nd
To promote student health and well-being, each child will each receive a vision and hearing screening. You will be notified in writing if a concern is found as a result of any of these screenings. Information about each screening is provided below.
Washington State law mandates that the following screenings be completed:
1. Vision – Vision screenings are done using a spot screener. This tool screens for a variety of vision issues. Even if your child passes this screening, an exam from an eye doctor may still be needed. School nurses and trained parent volunteers will conduct this screen.
2. Hearing – Hearing screenings will be provided by a district speech and language therapist and trained para educator. Washington State law requires that two screenings occur before a referral is sent home to parents.
If you would like your child to be excluded from any part of the screening, please notify the school at 360-966-3321 or email liza.diaz@nv.k12.wa.us
Examenes de Salud- Vision y Audicion, el 2 de Noviembre
Para promover la salud y el bienestar de los estudiantes, cada niño recibirá una evaluación de la vista y la audición. Se le notificará por escrito si se encuentra una inquietud como resultado de cualquiera de estas evaluaciones. La información sobre cada evaluación se proporciona a continuación.
La ley del estado de Washington exige que se completen las siguientes evaluaciones:
1. Visión: las evaluaciones de visión son solo para distancia. Incluso si su hijo pasa este examen de detección, aún puede ser necesario un examen de un oftalmólogo. Las enfermeras escolares y los padres voluntarios capacitados realizarán las evaluaciones de visión iniciales. Antes de enviar a casa una referencia, una enfermera de la escuela realizará una segunda evaluación.
2. Audición: los exámenes de audición serán proporcionados por un terapeuta del habla y lenguaje del distrito. La ley del estado de Washington requiere que se realicen dos exámenes antes de enviar una referencia a los padres.
Si desea que su hijo/a sea excluido de cualquier parte de la evaluación, llame a la escuela 360-966-3321 o mande un correo electrónico a liza.diaz@nv.k12.wa.us

Washington State Healthy Youth Survey 2023 Our school is participating in the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey during Fall 2023. The survey will be given to students in Grades 6 through 12 in our district. NVHS will survey students on October 24th. The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity and diet, unintentional and intentional injury, substance use, sexual behaviors, abuse, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services. Survey results are used by schools, communities, and state agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks. Participation in the survey is voluntary and the students’ answers are anonymous. There are no codes or information used to match a survey to a student.
Please read the attached Parent and Student Notification Letter for more information about the Healthy Youth Survey.
