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.
