MODEL GUIDELINES FOR HEALTH & WELLNESS
The school setting can play a major role in children?s health and nutrition habits, either through the examples provided by teachers and other adults, the food available in the school cafeteria or other areas on campus, or through exposure to behaviors of teachers and other students. This printable pamphlet includes guidelines developed to assist school districts as they create policies for their schools that address the requirements in the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act. The guidelines allow school districts flexibility in designing policies to meet the unique school characteristics within their own district, including school size, multicultural populations, rural versus urban schools, language differences, financial issues, and other community variants.
