School Board Approves Updated Wellness Policy

On Nov. 9, 2015, the Cañon City Schools Board of Education approved an updated wellness policy that was spearheaded by the district's Regional Wellness Advisory Team. The policy better represents the needs of the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Model (WSCC). 

Children who practice healthy wellness choices are more likely to benefit from improved health and an increase in learning and performance potential.

The following are the three goals in the new policy that the RWAT put in the policy.

Goal #1: The district will support a comprehensive school environment for teaching and learning by supporting a variety of activities/programs, enhancing the ability of our students, staff, families, and community to develop and practice lifelong wellness behaviors.

Goal # 2: In compliance with federal and state regulations, the School District will maintain standards to support and to promote healthy eating habits and nutritional education programs that contribute to an increase in student wellness and academic performance. These standards will include foods and beverages sold and/or served outside the USDA meal programs, during regular and extended school day hours. 

Goal #3: The district will support opportunities before, during, and after school for students, staff, and the community in a variety of comprehensive physical activities that will enhance the ability to maintain physical fitness.
