Scoliosis Screenings Scheduled
Scoliosis screenings are scheduled for all
middle school students during gym periods of the first week following Christmas
vacation. This exam checks students for signs associated with abnormal
curvature of the spine. It takes place
in the gym locker rooms during regular gym periods and is conducted by Mrs.
Hart, with assistance from PE teachers who manage the movement of students
through the process. Students are
checked one at a time, behind a screen for privacy. The process takes only a
minute or two. Positive findings are
confirmed by the school doctor, Dr. Cook, later in January before referrals are
made to parents.
Parents are encouraged to contact Mrs. Hart if they
have any questions about any of the screening information. She can be reached at 897-1663 or by email at
