WELL CHILD EXAMS

Berkshire Elementary School encourages all families to schedule an annual well-child exam with their primary care provider. Regular checkups ensure your student stays up to date on required immunizations, screenings, and health plans (such as Asthma Action Plans). Please remember to share updated physical forms or care plans with our school nurse following your child’s yearly visit!

Our LEAPS Programs are working on their Winter Session schedules and are looking for community members who want to work in our programs. We offer flexible scheduling, with staff working between 1 and 5 days per week after school. A full job description and application can be found on Schoolspring: https://www.schoolspring.com/jobdetail?jobId=5954908
