Wellness & Health
Wellness Policy
Our District has developed a Wellness Policy that is focused on improving the health of students. The policy was developed by the health and wellness advisory council that includes teachers, parents, administrators, and the district nurse.
Sharing the Message of Wellness
One of our goals is to share the message of nutrition and wellness via our department's Web site that emphasizes the importance of nutrition AND fitness. Our site provides information on the nutrition and fitness for teachers, parents, and students, as well as, a variety of learning tools.
The Wellness Committee is seeking people who work in the District, parents of students within our District and/or community members who are interested in health and wellness, to serve on our committee. If you are interested in serving on the wellness committee, please contact Karen Deming, Child Nutrition Services Director at (805) 742-3353 or deming.karen@lusd.org
