WELLNESS POLICY
The Parchment School District recognizes that good nutrition and regular physical activity affect the health and well being of the District's students. Research suggests that there is a positive correlation between a student's health and well being and his/her ability to learn. Schools can play an important role in the developmental process by which students establish their health and nutrition habits by
providing nutritious meals and snacks through the schools' meal programs.
supporting the development of good eating habits.
promoting increased physical activity both in and out of school.
The District believes the effort to support the students' development of healthy behaviors and habits with regard to eating and exercise cannot be accomplished by the schools alone. It will be necessary for not only the staff, but also parents and the public at large to be involved in a community-wide effort to promote, support, and model such healthy behaviors and habits.
The School Board has set goals in an effort to enable students to establish good health and nutrition habits in the areas of nutrition education, physical education, physical activity, and maintaining a quality food service program that promotes the well-being of our students.
