STUDENT WELLNESS

Given the documented connection between proper nutrition, adequate physical activity and educational success, the Board of Education adopts the following goals and authorizes the following actions to provide district students with a school environment that promotes student health and wellness and reduces childhood obesity. For purposes of this policy, “school campus” means all areas of district property accessible to students during the school day; “school day” means the period from the midnight before to 30 minutes after the end of the official school day; and “competitive food” means all food and beverages other than meals reimbursed under federal food programs available for sale to students on the school campus during the school day. The Board recognizes that a nutritious, well-balanced, reasonably-portioned diet is essential for student wellness. To help students possess the knowledge and skills necessary to make nutritious food choices for a lifetime, the district shall ensure that all foods and beverages available in school promote good nutrition, balance, and reasonable portion sizes. The district shall ensure that all foods and beverages available for sale to students on the school campus during the school day meet or exceed the program requirements and nutrition standards found in federal regulations.

To accomplish this, the Board directs that the district serve healthy and appealing foods and beverages at district schools, following state and federal nutrition guidelines, as well as safe food preparation methods. A. School Meals – the district shall:

1. Include fruits, vegetables, salads, whole grains, and low fat items at least to the extent

required by federal regulations. 2. Encourage students to try new or unfamiliar items. 3. Make efforts to ensure that families are aware of need-based programs for free or

3. Outside organizations (e.g., Parent groups, booster clubs) conducting fundraisers which take place off the school campus or outside the school day are encouraged to follow this policy.

E. School and Classroom Celebrations:

1. Curriculum-related only celebrations are encouraged. 2. Non-food related items are encouraged for all other school celebrations or events. 3. Any food and drinks for classroom or school celebrations shall be purchased through the

district’s food provider or other local food providers who can identify and ensure all specific ingredients are documented by label.

4. When appropriate, the district encourages families to participate in classroom and school celebrations. However, outside food and drink shall be purchased through the district’s food provider or other local food providers who can identify and ensure all specific ingredients are documented by label.

6. Parents/students are not permitted to bring lunch from fast food vendors to school.

F. Marketing of Foods and Beverages

4. This restriction does not apply to personal opinions or expression, or items used for educational purposes.

5. This restriction applies to all purchases and contracts made after the effective date of this provision.

G. Physical Activity Physical activity is an important factor in staying healthy and being ready to learn.

abilities of all students (e.g., walking, hiking and climbing, snowshoeing), including before and after school activities.

Staff members who provide nutrition promotion and education shall be appropriately certified and trained. The district’s broader Health Education program shall incorporate the appropriate New York State Learning Standards. M. The Board’s goals for nutrition promotion and education include that the district will: 1. Whenever possible, include nutrition education as part of not only health education classes,

but also classroom instruction, clubs and elective subjects. 2. Include enjoyable, developmentally appropriate, culturally relevant, participatory activities,

such as contests, promotions, taste testing, farm visits, and school gardens. 3. Promote fruits, vegetables, whole grain products, low fat dairy products, safe and healthy food

preparation methods, and health enhancing nutrition practices. 4. Emphasize caloric balance between food intake and energy expenditure. 5. Teach media literacy with an emphasis on food marketing. 6. Courses such as Cultural Foods and other food related courses and clubs must meet at least

the minimal federal nutrition standards. N. Other School-Based Activities The district may implement other appropriate programs that help create a school environment that conveys consistent wellness messages and is conducive to healthy eating and physical activity. Such activities may include, but are not limited to, health forums or fairs, health newsletters, parent outreach, employee health and wellness activities, limiting the use of food as a reward, reviewing food marketing and advertising in school, hosting or promoting



community-wide events, and offering wellness-related courses in the district’s adult education program. N through P are new State mandates that need to be in place for the 2017/2017 school year. N. Implementation The Board shall designate the Athletic Director as District Wellness Coordinator responsible for ensuring that the provisions of this policy are carried out throughout the district. The Board may also designate one person in each building as School Wellness Coordinator to ensure that the wellness activities and actions are being implemented at the building level. O. Monitoring and Review The Athletic Director, as District Wellness Coordinator, shall report every three years to the Board and the public on the implementation and effectiveness of this policy. Every three years, the District Wellness Coordinator, in consultation with appropriate personnel and advisory committees, shall monitor and review the district’s wellness activities to determine the extent that district schools are complying with this policy, how this policy compares to model wellness policies, and the progress made toward attaining the goals of this policy and whether this policy is having a positive effect on increasing student wellness and decreasing childhood obesity in the district. Based on those results, this policy, and the specific objectives set to meet its goals, may be revised as needed. Parents, students, food service professionals, physical education teachers, school health professionals, school administrators, the general public, and the school board shall be provided with the opportunity to participate in the development, implementation and periodic review and update of this wellness policy. To do this, the district shall establish an advisory committee, and invite participation via notices in school publications; staff and student announcements, handbooks and memos; the district website; and outreach to school-associated organizations interested persons and those with valuable expertise.
