Scoliosis Screening for 6th and 8th Graders

Amana Academy will conduct the annual state-mandated Scoliosis Screenings for sixth and eighth-grade students on Thursday, March 3rd to identify children with suspected curvature of the spine. According to available information, it is known that two to three children out of every 100 may have scoliosis. If this condition is detected early and appropriately treated, progressive spine deformity can usually be prevented. A flier from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta titled “Fast Facts about Scoliosis" is available on our website (Parents > Clinic) and posted below if you wish to view more information about scoliosis.

If you do want your 6th or 8th grader to participate, please complete the form linked below. Students whose families do not complete the form will be asked to participate.
