Scoliosis Screening for 5th Graders

On April 15th and 16th, I will be conducting scoliosis screenings during PE class.  This is required annually for all students 5th thru 9th grade by the State Department.  A student can only be “exempt” from the screenings if they have religious beliefs that conflict with health care screenings or if the student is currently under the care of a physician for scoliosis.  These are the only two reasons that a student can be exempt from screenings.  All non-exempt students will be screened.
