Overview 

Districts are required to submit a Spinal Screening Report (M-51) to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) annually.  See https://www.dshs.texas.gov/spinal/default.shtm


To assist with this reporting requirement, districts may run the Spinal Screening State Report in Aeries at the
district or school level. A summary totaling all schools selected will be available when the report is run at the district level for more than one school. Data entered on the Scoliosis page with a Test Date (SCO.TD) within the school year (based on the District calendar) will be included on this report.  

Navigate to Reports > Spinal Screening State Report



Select Screening by grade or by age to run the report.

  • Screening by grade:  Includes the Scoliosis records for this school year in the grade categories for the report (G5F, G7F, or G8M).
  • Screening by age:  Includes the Scoliosis records for this school year in the age categories for the report (A10F, A12F, A13M, or A14M)




Configurations  

This report relies on the fixed codes being used for several fields on the Scoliosis page (SCO table).  The Update Code Table may be used to add custom codes, however, these custom values will NOT appear on this report and any students coded with those values will not be counted on this report.
