Look for scoliosis forms coming home soon. Forms will need to be signed in order for a student to be checked. This is very important and a FREE service the school provides. We have also included some information for preventative measures since most students in our system use backpacks. Improper usage could lead to back issues in the future. Check them out and have a conversation with your students about how to properly wear a backpack and to not overfill them.
It may have felt like a Monday, but today was shout-out Friday!
