1751 Note)
The district’s nutrition
education and physical education programs shall be based on research,
consistent with the expectations established in the state’s curriculum

Nutrition
education shall be provided as part of the health education program in
grades K-12 and, as appropriate, shall be integrated into core academic
subjects.
All students in grades
K-12 shall be provided opportunities to be physically active on a
regular basis. Opportunities for moderate to vigorous physical activity
shall be provided through physical education, recess, school athletic
programs, extracurricular programs, before- and after-school programs,
and other structured and unstructured activities.
To
encourage consistent health messages between the home and school
environment, the Superintendent or designee may disseminate health
information to parents/guardians through district or school

web site, and other communications. Outreach to parents/guardians shall

performance.

The
Board shall adopt nutrition guidelines selected by the district for all
foods available on each campus during the school day, with the
objectives of promoting student health and reducing childhood obesity.
(42 USC 1751 Note)
The Board believes
that foods and beverages available to students at district schools
should support the health curriculum and promote optimal health.

or classroom behavior.
School staff
shall encourage parents/guardians or other volunteers to support the
district’s nutrition education program by considering nutritional
quality when selecting any snacks which they may donate for occasional
class parties and by limiting foods or beverages that do not meet
nutritional standards to no more than one food or beverage per party.
Class parties or celebrations shall be held after the lunch period when
possible.
The Superintendent or
designee shall adopt food safety/sanitation guidelines to ensure the
safety of students. (SCC Department of Environmental Health/Private

district’s wellness policy. (42 USC 1751 Note)
The
Superintendent or designee shall recommend for Board approval specific
quality indicators that will be used to measure the implementation of
the policy districtwide and at each district school. These measures

content of meals served; student participation rates in school meal
programs; any sales of non-nutritious foods and beverages in
fundraisers or other venues outside the district’s meal programs; and
feedback from food service personnel, school administrators, the school
health council, parents/guardians, students, and other appropriate
persons.
