Partners for School Wellness
Wellness PolicyOur District has developed a Wellness Policy that is focused on improving the health of students. The policy was developed by the health and wellness advisory council or committee that includes students, educators, school and physical education personnel, parents, administrators, and one of the district nurses.

Sharing the Message of WellnessOne of our goals is to share the message of nutrition and wellness via our department's website that emphasizes the importance of nutrition AND fitness. Our website provides information on nutrition and fitness concepts for teachers, parents, and students, as well as, a variety of learning tools.
