Annual Health Screenings

Mandated health screenings are completed by the School Nurse annually and at any other time as requested by a parent or a teacher.  Parents will be sent a written Health Report Card if a student does not pass their screenings. Parents can view screening results in Skyward Family Access.

Height/Weight/BMI/BMI Percentile: all grades, every year

BMI is a measurement that helps determine if a child's weight is appropriate for his/her height. The percentile shows a comparison of your child's BMI to others of the same age group and gender. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests a consultation with your physician if your child's BMI falls below 5^th percentile or is above 85^th percentile.
