Health
Screening - Height, Weight and Body Mass Index
The
Canton Public Schools are participating in the
Massachusetts state mandated body composition screenings
this year. All children in grades PreK-12 have
been weighed and measured, and their BMIs have
been calculated. BMI (body mass index) is a weight
for stature index that can be used to help determine
whether the student is within a normal growth pattern.
Because of the serious health issues associated
with being overweight or underweight (including
diabetes, heart disease and eating disorders),
we will be sending letters to the parents of students
whose BMI’s fall outside of the normal range
for their ages. Meanwhile, if you have any concerns
about this information, please feel free to contact
your school nurse.
