Wellness Policy
Sunman-Dearborn Community Schools has developed a Wellness Policy that is focused on improving the health of students. The policy was developed by the Wellness Committee that includes a variety of staff members including teachers, administrators, counselors, nurses, and instructional assistants.
Key Areas of our Wellness Policy Include:
Nutrition Education
Physical Activity
Other school-based activities designed to promote student wellness.
The Wellness Policy is assessed every three years or more if needed. The results of the most recent assessments can be found below:
2021 Assessment (Policy was not assessed in 2020 due to COVID-19 Pandemic)
Vitality
Part of our comprehensive Employee Wellness Program includes a free biometric screening during our annual Health Fair, as well as a smartphone app and wellness portal - Power of Vitality. Here, our employees are encouraged to develop health habits and can use the app to track their progress toward wellness goals and earn points. These points can be redeemed for gift cards or fitness devices.
