Attn. Families of current Grade 10 Students: https://enfieldpto.com/f/dear-parentsguardians-of-current-10th-grade-ehs-students

PDF Version - May 2021

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of current 10th grade Enfield High students,

Connecticut General Statute 10-206 requires that all school children have a complete health assessment, including a blood test for anemia, three times during their school years. The first time is for the initial entrance into a Connecticut school.  Enfield Board of Education Policy 5141.1 requires the other two assessments be done for grade 6 and grade 10.

Both the Statute and Board Policy reflect the growing awareness of the close relationship between good health and good education. Therefore, this health assessment serves a very important function in the learning process.

The best person to do this assessment is your child’s healthcare provider. Health assessments are acceptable when done after the last day of 9th grade (June 12, 2020) and before the student begins their first day of 11th grade (September 7, 2021).

Since the start of school in September 2020, several notices have been sent to you reminding you of the need to have the health assessment done and the completed form turned into the school nurse.

The completed health assessment form MUST be turned in to the school nurse at Enfield High School before school begins on September 7, 2021.  Unfortunately, if the health assessment (physical) is not turned in, your child will not be able to start their junior year (11th grade).

If you have already turned the health assessment into the Enfield High nurses, please disregard this notice.

Should you have any questions, please call the Enfield High school nurses at 860-763-8829 or 860-763-8830

Sincerely,

Trisha Vayda RN, BSN, NCSN

Interim Nursing Supervisor 

Enfield Public Schools

PLEASE NOTE: The Enfield Board of Education will provide the assessment required in Grades 6 and 10 to all pupils whose parents/guardians meet the eligibility requirements for free meals under the National School Lunch Program.
