Heights and weights are done yearly on
all school students usually in August. Presently,
there is a "...nationwide effort dedicated to improving the health and
academic performance of children through better nutrition and physical activity
in schools." As a part of the
yearly school health growth screening, measured height and weight will be used
as a means of calculating a BMI (Body Mass Index) for a given age. The BMI will
be used as a guideline to help assess whether a student may be overweight or
underweight. For
more information, go to Body
Mass Index for Children and Teens. Resources
