BMI and Scoliosis screenings will be done during the month of January. BMI screens will be done for grades K-2-4-6-8 and 10. Scoliosis screens will be done for only 6th grade girls and 8th grade boys and girls. These screenings will be done with me and another person present at that time. If you do not want these screenings done on your children please send a written note to school with your child or call the nurse's office at 458-4014. Any questions please call Debbie the school nurse at 458-4014.
