SUBJECT:
Scoliosis Screening of Seventh and Eighth Grade Students
This is a friendly reminder about completing scoliosis screening for the 7th and 8th grade students in your P.E. classes.
We have included updated forms and information.
Schools must show the video “Catch a Curve” to students in 7th & 8th grade, which explains the procedure prior to sending home the permission letters.

Screeners must also review the enclosed handout titled “Screening for Scoliosis” (enclosed).
Additionally, all of these forms will be available to you on the Jordan District website, Departments/Educational Support/Nursing Services/Documents and forms.
Thank you for your support in making sure this screening is accomplished.
Please contact your school nurse if you have any questions.
