Grade 8 Course Selection for High School!!

Below is the text of a message about course selection that high school principal Mike Devine sent to all grade 8 families.  All questions about high school course selection for current grade 8 students should be directed to Hull High School.  The phone number for the high school is 781-925-3000.

This is Hull High School principal Mike Devine. I am calling to invite all parents and guardians of grade 8 students to an information session at Hull High School on Wednesday April 29th at 7PM in the exhibition room. I will be giving information about the process your 8th grader will follow to select courses for his/her freshman year of high school. This is a very important meeting to attend because over the next two weeks students will be filling out the paperwork that will be used to register them for the courses they will take here at Hull High School next year. I will be presenting this information to all the 8th graders in school on Tuesday, April 28th so students should not come to this meeting. I look forward to seeing you on April 29th at 7PM and getting to know you and your child over the next four years.

Scoliosis Screening!!!

April 7, 2015

Dear Parent or Guardian:

            The Memorial Middle School will be doing an annual Postural Screening during the week of April 13, 2015.  The Massachusetts General Law c.71, s.57 requires all public school systems in the Commonwealth to provide postural screening to all students in grades 5 through 9.  If a parent or guardian refuses to have a postural screening by the school, written documentation provided by the physician must be submitted to the school nurse (i.e. a recent physical).

            The purpose of this screening is to find early signs of possible spinal problems in children in Grades 5 through 9.  It is not a diagnostic service but a program to identify young people who should have further medical evaluation.

            If your child has any unusual findings, you will be notified and asked to take the child to a physician as a precaution.  The majority of students exhibit no findings.  If nothing unusual is found, we will not be contacting you again until the screening next year.

            Female children are asked to bring a two-piece swimsuit or halter-top and shorts to school the day of the screening.  This type of clothing permits more accurate observation of the back. The screenings will be conducted beginning the week of April 13th, during physical education/ wellness classes.

            If you have any questions, please contact me at 925-2040, Ext. 1106.

                                                                        Sincerely,

                                                                        Sharon M. Striglio, R.N.

                                                                        School Nurse
