As part of a required school health examination, a student is weighed and his/her height is mea- sured. These numbers are used to figure out the student’s body mass index or “BMI”. The BMI helps the doctor or nurse know if the student’s weight is in a healthy range or is 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. Ran- dolph Central School District was selected to take part in a survey by the New York State Department of David Meabon Brianna Nelson Phil O’Brien Health. We will be reporting to New Cleaner School Psychology Intern Grounds Helper York State Department of Health information about our students’ weight status groups. Only sum- mary information is sent. No names and no information about individual students are sent. However, you may choose to have your child’s information ex- cluded from this survey report. The information sent to the New York State Department of Health will help health officials develop programs that make it easier for children to be healthier.
