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 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 groups be included as part of the student’s school health examination. Grades included in the survey are Pre-K, K,1,3,5,7,9 and 11.

A sample of school districts have been selected to take part in a survey by the New York State Department of Health. Colton-Pierrepont Central School has been selected to be part of the survey this year. We will be reporting to the New York State Department of Health information about our students’ weight status 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.
