7th Grade Scoliosis Screening
In March of every year the 7th graders will be screened for scoliosis by the nurse or physical education teachers, as per N. J. S. A. 18A: 40-4.3. Scoliosis is a condition where the spine may curve to the left or right. It is most commonly found during the period of rapid growth. The purpose of the screening is to recognize scoliosis in its earliest stages. Girls may wear a bathing suit top, camisole or bra. Please be sure your daughter is prepared. Boys will be required to remove their shirts. All 7th grade students will be screened during their phys ed class. If you do not want your child screened by the school faculty, please alert the school nurse in writing.
Screenings will be done on 3/18/2024 and 3/19/2024

A team of students at Eisenhower Middle School were chosen as one of only 300 schools in the country (and one of eight in NJ) to move on to the next round in Samsung's "Solve for Tomorrow" design challenge. In being selected a state finalist, EMS will be awarded a $2,500 Samsung technology prize package and continue competing to win the national prize of a $100,000 package. Next, students will work toward being named a state winner and ultimately a national finalist. The team, comprised of students Chris H., Greyson P., Shaela S., and Chris S. (and mentored by teachers Angelo Bonavitacola, Marc DeBlock, and Jason Opremcak), now turns their attention towards engaging the community and using the design thinking process to design, engineer, and test a prototype.
From the Samsung website: Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is a nationwide competition designed to empower students in grades 6–12 to leverage the power of STEM to create innovative solutions addressing critical issues in their local communities. The competition engages U.S. Gen Z students to catalyze change by applying Problem-based Learning (PBL) principles, environmental stewardship, and entrepreneurship to address some of society’s most pressing challenges. It also promotes active, hands-on learning, making STEM more tangible and showcasing its real-world applications.

The Nurse and Phys Ed Department will be holding their Annual Health Fair. We gather your child's height/weight and Blood Pressure information. For 6th and 8th graders a vision screening is also done for distance. For 7th graders a hearing screening is also done. This is done to meet New Jersey's Health requirements and gives us the opportunity to teach your child what this information means. It will happen the week of December 4th through December 11th during your child's phys ed period. No special preparation is needed.
