Scoliosis Screening - 8th Grade Class
The Scoliosis Screening for 8th grade students will be held on Friday, October 21, 2011 at OCMS. A team of Registered Nurses will conduct the scoliosis screening. Boys will be screened separately from the girls, and each student’s privacy will be protected. The student will need to remove his/her shirt in order for the RN to assess the spine. Girls may wear a sports bra.
The screening only takes a few minutes. The procedure for screening is simple, painless, and takes only a minute. The Registered Nurses will look at the child’s back, standing and bent forward.
If further examination is indicated, you will be notified by the school nurse and requested to take your child to your family physician or pediatrician.
If you declined the screening as indicated on the scoliosis consent form obtained at Registration in July, your child will not be screened.
Screenings will be conducted during the 1st and 2nd blocks.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Scoliosis Screening, please call or email Sherry Krampe, RN, BSN at 270-852-8005 or sherry.krampe@owensborocatholic.org
