Information about Health Screen
We have modified the screening process so there is a basic medical screen for most students with a more extensive screen for students entering Grades 3, 6, 9 and 11, which includes a tuberculosis screen. Any student who has had a new student medical examination after January 2018 will not need a repeat examination. All students must fill in the Nurse Medication Consent form and Tuberculosis Symptom Screening form.

Forms are available for download from the ISB website here. 

Any student with Diabetes, Asthma or Anaphylaxis will also need an action plan filled out by the doctor. Theses action plans are available for download from the ISB website: ISB Health Services Forms and Resources.

If your child has regular medications that the nurse administers throughout the school day, please also get the Prescription Medication Consent form filled out.
