Note from the Nurse

Parents:

I will be starting the state mandated BMI screenings on March 1st, on grades K,2,4,6,8 and 10.
Height, age, weight and gender are used to calculate the BMI (Body Mass Index) The screening tells if a person is underweight, healthy weight, at risk for obesity, or overweight.
If you do not wish your child to be tested, I will need a written statement from you, stating that fact, to go in their medical record. If I do not receive a written statement by Feb. 28th, your child will be screened. A phone call will not suffice, it will need to be in writing.

Thanks for your cooperation,
Camille Nesler
