The North Carolina Kindergarten Health Assessment Report form has undergone minor revisions directed toward improved ease of use for providers and for Spanish-speaking parents. Students entering Kindergarten for the 2011/2012 (or later) school year should have their results reported on this revised form which is dated PPS-2K Rev.1/11 in the upper left corner on both sides.

The revised forms are available online at: http://ncdhhs.gov/dph/wch/families/kindergartenhealth.htm with the Parent Complete section at the top of both sides in English or Spanish. Forms should be downloaded and printed by the school system, as there are no plans at present for printing and distribution by the state. (Older versions dated 1/08 may be used through the end of the school year 2011-2012 or until your current supply has been depleted, whichever comes first.)

For additional information, please contact your Regional School Nurse Consultant or the School Health Unit at 919-797-5671.

Due to the mandated reductions in state expenses, all state personnel, including the regional school nurse consultants, must limit their travel to “mission critical” activities. If you believe your school district would benefit from a visit by the regional school nurse consultant, please contact her. The support of your administration in requesting the visit would be helpful toward obtaining approval for the travel.
