Please Review: 5th Grade Girls Scoliosis Screening Information - Tuesday, 10/17 Dear Parent/Guardian: PLIS will be conducting spinal screenings 10/17/23. The purpose of spinal screening is to detect the signs of abnormal curves of the spine at their earliest stages so that the need for treatment can be determined. Scoliosis, a common spinal abnormality found in adolescents, is a sideways twisting of the spine. It is usually detected in children between 10 and 14 years of age. Kyphosis, sometimes called round back, is an exaggerated rounding of the upper back and is often confused with poor posture. Many cases of curvature of the spine are mild and require only ongoing observation by a physician when they are first diagnosed. Others can worsen with time as the child grows and require active treatment such as bracing and surgery. Early treatment can prevent the development of a severe deformity, which can affect a person’s appearance and health. The procedure for screening is simple. Screeners who have been specially trained will look at your child’s back while he/she stands and then bends forward. For this examination, boys and girls will be seen separately and individually. ALL STUDENTS MUST REMOVE THEIR SHIRT FOR THIS EXAM. FOR THIS REASON, WE REQUEST THAT GIRLS WEAR A HALTER TOP, TUBE TOP, SPORTS BRA OR A TWO-PIECE SWIMSUIT TOP UNDERNEATH THEIR SHIRT ON EXAMINATION DAY. Parents will be notified of the results of the screening only if professional follow-up is necessary. This screening procedure does not replace your child’s need for regular health care and check-ups. Texas State Law recently changed the required grade levels to be screened. In compliance with Health and Safety Code, Chapter 37, all children shall undergo screening for abnormal spinal curvature in accordance with the following schedule: • Girls will be screened two times, once at age 10 (or fall semester of grade 5) and again at age 12 (or fall semester of grade 7). • Boys will be screened one time at age 13 or 14 (or fall semester of grade 8). If for religious reasons, you do not wish to have your child screened, you are to submit an affidavit of religious exemption to this office no later than the day of screening, 10/17/23. Thank you for your cooperation, Luci Rodriguez, RN luci.rodriguez@plainviewisd.org 806-293-6020 ************************************************************* Dear Parent/Guardian: PLIS llevará a cabo la detección de la columna vertebral el 10/17/23. El propósito del cribado espinal es detectar los signos de curvas anormales de la columna vertebral en sus primeras etapas para determinar la necesidad de tratamiento. La escoliosis, una anomalía espinal común que se encuentra en los adolescentes, es una torsión lateral de la columna vertebral. Por lo general, se detecta en niños de entre 10 y 14 años de edad. La cifosis, a veces llamada espalda redonda, es un redondeo exagerado de la parte superior de la espalda y a menudo se confunde con una mala postura. Muchos casos de curvatura de la columna vertebral son leves y sólo requieren observación continua por un médico cuando se diagnostican por primera vez. Otros pueden empeorar con el tiempo a medida que el niño crece y requieren tratamiento activo como refuerzos y cirugía. El tratamiento temprano puede prevenir el desarrollo de una deformidad grave, que puede afectar la apariencia y la salud de una persona. El procedimiento de detección es simple. Los screeners que han sido especialmente entrenados mirarán la espalda de su hijo mientras se para y luego se inclina hacia adelante. Para este examen, los niños y niñas serán vistos por separado e individualmente. TODOS LOS ESTUDIANTES DEBEN QUITAR SU CAMISA PARA ESTE EXAMEN. POR ESTA RAZÓN, SOLICITAMOS QUE LAS MUCHACHAS LLEVEN UNA BLUSA ESTILO HALTER, BRASIER DE DEPORTES O UN TRAJE DE BAÑO DE DOS PIEZAS DEBAJO DE SU CAMISA DURANTE EL DÍA DE EXAMEN. Los padres serán notificados de los resultados de la evaluación sólo si es necesario un seguimiento profesional. Este procedimiento de detección no reemplaza la necesidad de su hijo de atención médica regular y chequeos. La Ley del Estado de Texas cambió recientemente los niveles de grado requeridos para ser examinados. De conformidad con el Código de Salud y Seguridad, Capítulo 37, todos los niños deben someterse a pruebas de detección de curvatura espinal anormal de acuerdo con el siguiente horario: • Las niñas serán examinadas dos veces, una vez a los 10 años (o el semestre de otoño de grado 5) y de nuevo en edad 12 (o semestre de otoño de grado 7). • Los niños serán examinados una vez a los 13 o 14 años (o semestre de otoño de grado 8). Si por razones religiosas, usted no desea que su hijo sea examinado, debe presentar una declaración jurada de exención religiosa a esta oficina a más tardar el día de la proyección, 10/17/23. Gracias por su cooperación, Luci Rodriguez, RN luci.rodriguez@plainviewisd.org 806-293-6020
