A Message from Mrs. Kelly, School Nurse
The bi-annual scoliosis screening which begins in fifth grade was not performed on our students this year due to the COVID-19 shutdown. Scoliosis is defined as a condition of the spine in which the spine may curve from right or left. It is most commonly seen during the time of rapid growth and may progress if not treated. The purpose of this screening is to catch scoliosis in the early stages. This screening will not be performed by a school nurse again until 7th grade, therefore, it is recommended that you have your child’s pediatrician examine his/her spine at their next well-visit. Please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Kelly with any questions or concerns sally.kelly@chatham-nj.org.
