Scoliosis Screening

Parents Upcoming scoliosis screening for ALL students:

In accordance with Alabama law, Section 16-29-1, Code Alabama, 1975, our school will be conducting a free screening to detect adolescent scoliosis on November 29, 2017.

The school nurse will conduct the scoliosis screening along with a nurse from Children's Hospital from the scoliosis clinic..  The screening, which takes about one minute, is simple and not embarrassing.  It involves a visual examination of the back while standing straight and bending over.  Boys and girls will be screened separately.

Scoliosis is a twisting, or curve of the spine which occurs in about 10% of the adolescent population and about 2 ½% will require some type of medical attention.  The first sign of scoliosis is usually noticed between the ages of ten and fourteen.  If any symptoms are detected for your child, you will be notified by letter.

Please make sure your child wears a slip-on shirt or blouse on the screening day.  Girls may wear a bathing suit top or bra which will remain on during the screening.

If you do not want your child screened, please send a letter to the school nurse, Tyra Walker, RN.
