Scoliosis Screening Information

The Alabama State Department of Education and the Alabama Department of Public Health require that school districts in Alabama offer and provide scoliosis screening for male and female students in grades 5 through 9.

Screening is performed by observing the uncovered spine, viewing the student from the back, side and from and also with the student bending forward. If a spinal problem in suspected, the child will be rechecked at a second screening. Parents of any student found to have signs of possible spinal abnormality will be asked to see their own physicians for further evaluation.

On February 19th girls and boys will be screened separately to ensure privacy. They can wear gym clothes, bathing suits or other clothing that may be removed easily. Screening for your child will take place within the next two weeks. If your child is currently under treatment for a spinal deformity, please let us know and your child will be exempt from the screening process.

Please complete the consent form below indicating your wishes for screening. Hard copies are also available in the health room.

Awards Day for first semester is Thursday January 23. The time for Sixth Grade is 11:00 until 12:30. We have two awards day in middle school. One for each semester. At this ceremony All A honor roll will be recognized and they will walk the red carpet. This will be for all students who made all A’s during the first semester in ALL classes including electives and PE. Students who made all A/B honor roll will be recognized by their name being called and they will stand in the bleacher seating. Parents will not be individually notified as parents know if their child made one of these honors according to their report card.

There are 8 students who will receive team awards. If your child is receiving one of these awards it will be a surprise to the student and parents will be notified by Tuesday January 21.

We ask that all students dress their best for Awards Day!

Football Players...

Message from Coach Watson:

Parents, if your player was planning on attending the football camp at Hoover High this Saturday, the camp will only be for current 7th and 8th graders.  Current 6th graders cannot attend.  Sorry for the confusion.
