Parent Notification of BMI/Scoliosis Screening
Dear Parents:
On February 5h we will be doing BMI/Scoliosis screening on all 8th grade students.
The procedure for screening is a simple one in which the child’s back is observed as he/she stands upright and as he/she bends forward. To observe this condition, each child will be asked to remove their shirt. The screening will be conducted in privacy with only the student and nurse present.
Any curvature or “back hump” that is noticed during the screening may indicate the need for further evaluation. If a problem is found, you will be notified, and we will recommend that you take your child to the physician of your choice for evaluation.
It is a state mandated screening. If you do not want your student to participate in the scoliosis screening you will need to let us know in writing before the screening date.
Phone calls will not be accepted.
If your child does not participate you will have to take them to a physician and have the screening done and return a record from the doctor with the results of the screening.
Thank you,
Tonya Green RN, BSN
School Nurse

From the office of transportation:
To the parents of NLR Middle School, High School, COE, and Academy: starting Tuesday, January 22, 2019, all students will be required to wear their name badges before entering the bus. Students who refuse to comply may be subject to not being allowed to get on the bus. The handbook already requires that all students wear their name badges. This is a safety concern. By regulation, we are required to know all of the individuals who are being transported by our buses as well as where they were sitting (seating chart). Besides it being required, it helps us protect your children, identify them for disciplinary issues, as well as locate your children in case of emergencies.
SITE CHANGE: eSTEM vs North Little Rock Gold 8th grade girls and boys basketball games will be played in the auxiliary gym at North Little Rock High School. The girls' game will start at 5:00 p.m., followed by the boys' game.

We have been having issues in the cafeteria with students not having money, which is causing the line to move slowly. Thank you in advance for your help.
