Scoliosis Screening
A check for evidence of spinal curvature is required for all students in
Grades 6 (during the physical examination) and Grade 7. We appreciate
your assistance and support in helping us fulfill this state school
health regulation.
A signed parental permission slip is required for a school screening.
Should a problem be detected in any of the screenings or examinations offered
by the school health program, a referral will be sent home recommending that
the parents seek further evaluation and/or treatment. This referral form is to
be completed by the doctor evaluating and treating the child and returned to
the nurse's office.
If your child has previously been diagnosed with scoliosis, or is currently
being monitored by their physician for this condition, we recommend that
their private physician complete this screening for comparison and follow up.
If you have any questions please contact the school nurse.
