Memphis Shelby County Schools offers free health screenings for Pre-K, K, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 9th grades. Screenings consist of vision, hearing, blood pressure, height, weight, and scoliosis. We understand space is limited with your schools. Help us with securing a quite room to perform effective hearing screenings. Please ensure “Opt-Out” forms have gone home before your scheduled screening date. We are also encouraging you to send text messaging, robo calls, and include on your school’s website calendar. Support us in spreading the word to parents/guardians for this needed service. See calendar for your school dates of middle, high, and charter schools.

Please be reminded of the procedures regarding canceling or rescheduling athletic contests facing potential critical issues. Critical issues are health, safety, hazardous weather, academic eligibility, or other extreme circumstances that may cause irregularity in standard operating procedures.  

This procedure can be found in the AOSS Manual Procedures and Protocol for Schools titled Athletics-Contest/Game Cancellation, Reschedule, and/or Relocation.  

In Summary, when planning to cancel or reschedule a contest due to a critical issue, the following procedure should be followed:  

1. The Principal will report the potentially critical issue to the Athletics Office immediately.  
2. The Athletics Office will present the issue to the Office of Student Support.  
3. A consulting committee will be formed, including but not limited to affected School Principals, School Operations, Safety and Security, Transportation, Facilities, Construction and Maintenance, Risk Management, and Communications.  
4. School Operations will report the consulting committee's findings to Academic Operation & School Support and the Superintendent and/or his Designee for final review.  
5. School Operations will confirm what appropriate adaptive response to the critical issue will be authorized.  

The Student Support/Athletics department will make the final decision for canceling and/or rescheduling athletic events based on information provided by the consulting committee upon final review of the Superintendent and/or his Designee.  

SCS Communication will notify the public via the appropriate electronic and media outlets. The Student Support/Athletics Departments shall communicate the decision to the involved schools as early as possible.  

If and when possible, we prefer not to have to cancel a contest because of the impact it has on the total school experience of our students, as well as the message it may send regarding the confidence, we have in our district to provide a safe, secure environment for students and staff. However, safety is always our top priority. 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, don't hesitate to contact Ms. Weaver at weaveri@scsk12.org, Mr. Jackson at jacksonrd@scsk12.org, or Dr. Richmond at richmondrf@scsk12.org. 

Best regards,
