Vision and hearing screenings are to be performed by the school nurse or clinic aide. Fine and gross motor screenings are performed by kindergarten teachers for their students, and physical education teachers screen students in grades 1-3. Refer to the above regulation for specific procedures to be followed if students fail the screenings. These representatives will serve their representative employee groups until May 2001.

All employees are welcome to participate by walking or sponsoring someone who is walking.
The Code of Virginia requires that every public school conduct a fire drill once a week for the first 20 days of the school session, and then once a month for the remainder of the school year. Principals should review Regulation 7352.3 that outlines how to report fire drills. A copy of the report must be filed in the school Fire Safety Manual. Regulation 7321.1 details the requirements for tornado drills. A tornado drill must be held in September and again in April.
