As part of a required school health examination, a student is weighed and his/her height is measured. These numbers are used to figure out the student’s mass index or “BMI.” The

“BMI” helps the doctor or nurse know if the student’s weight is in a healthy range, too high or too low. Recent changes to the New York State Education Law require that BMI and weight status group be included as part of the student’s school health examination. Our district has been selected to take part in a survey by the New York State Department of Health. The district will be reporting to New York State Department of Health information about our student’s weight groups. Only summary information is sent. No names and no information about individual students are sent. However, you may choose to have your child’s information excluded from this survey report. To have your child’s information excluded from the survey please contact the MS/HS school nurse @ 654-9005, ext.3445, by December 8, 2008. The survey pertains only to Grades 7 and 10. The information will be submitted to the New York State Department of Health and will be used to help health officials develop programs that make it easier for children to be healthy.
