What is a Wellness Policy?

A local school wellness policy is a written document of official policies that guide a local educational agency (LEA) or school district's efforts to establish a school environment that promotes students' health, well-being, and ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical activity.

Below are some examples of what can be found within our OUSD Wellness Policy. 

• Commitment to high-quality ingredients in our meals
• Diverse and culturally sensitive offerings in our menus
• Prioritizing local food and produce when possible
• Commitment to student's mental health and well being 
• Physical activity and education
