Anton Independent School District

CHANGE FOR TONIGHT'S GAMES: JH Games in Whiteface will now begin at 6:00 PM.

Wednesday, December 6th is the kick off for our 12 days of Christmas dress up. We would like students and staff to participate in this, but please don't feel obligated.

Parents/Guardians: Our school will do spinal screenings on December 20th. State law requires that schools must screen students for spinal problems. Phebe Myers will be screening 5th and 7th grade girls, and 8th grade boys, before the spring semester, to meet this requirement. She will check your child for signs of spinal problems like scoliosis. Catching a spinal problem early can make the treatment much easier. Not treating spinal issues can lead to serious health problems. The screening is simple. She will look at your child's back while he or she stands and bends forward. They will need to remove their shirts for an effective screen. I am asking that the girls wear sports bras or a swimsuit-like top on the day of screening. The school will send you a letter if your child does not pass the screening. The letter will tell you how to follow up with a doctor. This screening is not a medical exam. Your child still needs to see a doctor for checkups. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Phebe Myers at 806-543-4553. If your student is currently under treatment for spinal abnormality, please notify me and your student will be exempt from the screening. Thank you for your cooperation. -Phebe Myers, RN
