ImPact baseline concussion test August 5
For those in grades 7-12 that will be participating in a sport at Scotland middle/high school (must be 12 on the testing date) and who have not yet completed the ImPact baseline concussion test, it will be offered at the school computer lab on Wednesday, August 5, at 8:00 a.m. This needs to be done every year (change from previous years when it was required every other year). Many students took it in April and this is sufficient. It must be done before the first day of practice. Due to the number predicted that will need to take this, it would be appreciated if you contact Shaina Tycz at 605-583-2227 to schedule an appointment rather than doing it on August 5. If you have a question, contact athletic director Jim Kocer at 605-464-7743 or e-mail him at jim.kocer@k12.sd.us.
