The school provides baseline and post tests for concussion management through a program called Impact. It has been our goal to baseline test all students Grades 7-12 every two years. The baseline test is good for two years since the experts say that the adolescent brain is ever growing and changing at this time in life. We mandate the testing for all our athletes and ask when you registering for a sport to be sure your child has had a baseline within the last 2 years and that it will be good through the respective season of play.
This year alone we have tried to keep up with the 2 year baseline by testing all juniors during their Wellness Classes. We have also baseline tested all of the 7th and 9th graders in their wellness classes. If your son or daughter was absent or submitted an invalid test, they will have to makeup the test on their own by requesting a session with our Athletic Trainer and Wellness teacher Mr. Brian Bellinger.
Please note that in order to get a green eligibility card for Spring Sports a valid test needs to be taken prior to the Spring Pre-Season Meeting on March 11 at 6pm
Mr. Bellinger will be running 2 sessions on March 5 & 7 from 2:30-3:30pm in the Career Tech Computer Lab. Please email him to sign up at bbellinger@slrsd.org.
