Fairfield High School is proud to announce that we will be offering the ImPACT Concussion Screening test to students in grades 5-12 who are participating in athletics. Due to the growing concern regarding concussions, schools across Montana and the nation, are participating in the Baseline ImPACT screening test.
Each sports team will have a “testing” time set up near the beginning of the season and those students wishing to take part in the testing may attend and go through the 45 minute computer based test. All results are held by secure ImPACT servers and all data will remain private.
Students who choose to participate in the testing program will need their parents to fill out a consent form. This two page document gives more explanation about the program, its rules and regulations, and the involvement of Teton Medical Center. You can download the consent form with the link below:
Parents who would like to learn more about the program are encouraged to look at the ImPACT website that can answer many frequently asked questions.
