Scoliosis Screening for Grade 5 Girls The State of Connecticut and Madison Board of Education require that girls in grade 5 have scoliosis screening. Scoliosis screenings will be performed Thursday and Friday, February 23 and 24, for 5th grade girls only. Please provide the Brown Health Office with documentation from your healthcare provider if your child has had scoliosis screening, thus eliminating the need for school screening. The screening performed must be for the current school year, dated June 1, 2022 or after. During screening girls must remove all clothing from their waist up with the exception of a bra or swimsuit top. Tank tops, shoes and socks must also be removed. Girls are screened behind the privacy of a screen individually, with Health Office doors locked by the nurse. The nurse assesses only the girls' back and doesn't look at their front.
