HMS is getting geared up for the BATTLE OF THE BOOKS and all students are invited to participate! Students are receiving information about this from their ELA teachers and will be receiving a newsletter explaining how it works (newsletter will be on our webpage). This is a great way for our students to read, have fun with their peers, and work on team building skills.

Dear Parent/Guardian, During the next few weeks we will be conducting our annual health screening, including a scoliosis screening, at Harrison Middle School. Our scheduled dates are September 17th and 19th for vision/hearing/BMI and September 26th for the scoliosis screenings. The procedure for a scoliosis screening is a simple one, in which the student is observed as he/she stands upright and he/she bends forward. To observe this condition, each child will be asked to remove their shirt or blouse (girls may wear a bra or bathing suit top with an open back, boys may wear an A shirt). The screening will be conducted with privacy with only the student and 2 district school nurses present. We encourage all students to participate in this program. If you do not want your child to be screened, please let us know in writing at least 3 days prior to the screening date. Phone calls will not be accepted. If your child is currently under treatment for a back problem, please let us know in writing. In accordance with state mandates, if you have already declined screenings for this school year, please provide the appropriate documentation from your physician that they have completed the corresponding screening(s) within the past year. Not providing documentation will result in individual cases being reported to the Arkansas Department of Education. Thank You, Lauren Holt, RN Harrison Middle School Handbook Excerpt-from Section 7.30 The Harrison School District nurses’ provide annual screenings of vision and hearing for all students and Body Mass Index and Scoliosis for mandated grades. The intent of the exams or screenings shall be to detect contagious or infectious diseases or defects in hearing, vision, or other elements of health that would adversely affect the student’s ability to achieve their full potential. The district shall notify parents annually through the school website, announcements, or notes home of the specific or approximate dates of any non-emergency screening, administered by the school and scheduled by the school in advance and not necessary to protect the immediate health and safety of the student or of other students. Except in instances where a student is suspected of having a contagious or infectious disease, parent/guardians shall have the right to opt their student out of exams/screenings by written notification to the school or by providing certification from a physician that he/she has recently examined the student.
