Local Wellness Committee
In accordance with Federal Regulations, West Deptford School District established a Local School Wellness Policy in 2017. A committee was formed, comprised of a cross-representation of School Administrators, Nurses, Physical Education Teachers, Guidance Counselors, Teachers, Aides and Parents who meet several times throughout the year to ensure our compliance with this policy, to discuss topics related to wellness and to evaluate where we currently stand as a district in regards to overall wellness.
Specific goals are discussed for nutrition promotion and education, physical activity, and other school-based activities that promote student wellness. A copy of the District Wellness Policy, the committee's final report, as well as our yearly assessment and our District Wellness Report Card can be found below.
