SCHOOL DISTRICT WELLNESS POLICY ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND NUTRITION (ADE):   The Westport Community Schools are committed to providing school environments that promote and protect children’s health, well-being, and ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical activities.  To that end, the school committee adopted a far reaching policy on July 7, 2006.

                 The policy, in part, addresses the following:

                 1.  The nutritional quality of foods and beverages served in the schools;

                2.  Meal times and scheduling;

                3.  The qualifications of food service staff;

                4.  The sharing of foods and beverages;

                5.  Parameters for fundraising activities;

                6.  The need for nutrition education;

                7.  Integrating physical activity into the classroom setting;

                8.  The parents’ role in healthy nutrition; and

                9.  Monitoring and periodic review of the policy.
