Health screening day happens once a year at Horace Mann. The students are screened for routine vision and hearing issues.  The school nurse reviews results and lets parents know if there are any vision or hearing issues with their child.

We need your help on this day, January 14th, 2014. If you like to volunteer and help for all or part of the day, please send an email to co-chairpersons  Susan Langsley (susanlangsley@gmail.com) or Hadas Regev Tobias (hadasregtob@outlook.com) who are the coordinators this year's health screening day.

No prior experience is necessary and the training only takes a few minutes in the morning before students come in.  This has been a fun event  in the past, and parents love seeing their kids come through the lines.  Get involved!  Many helpers lighten the workload and helps get the job done quickly.!
