“Feel Better, Be Healthy, Live Longer”
Valley Center Public Schools Health and Wellness Program is designed to help employees adopt and maintain health behaviors as part of their everyday life. Employees may participate in our wellness incentive program to qualify for the Healthy Living Additional Benefit. The HLAB program results in an additional $30/month being paid by the district toward health insurance premiums ($360/yr).
2025-2026 Healthy Living Additional Benefit Information
All staff who currently have the HLAB benefit must requalify for the plan year that starts April 1.
Once your HLAB form (above) is filled out - meeting all requirements (Biometric Screening OR Physical, USD 262 Wellness Activity, and a Preventative Item, all listed in the document linked above) - scan and email or interoffice mail it to Carla Clark, Human Resources, no later than March 1, 2026.

We're excited to announce a fresh and flexible approach to our Health & Wellness Monthly Challenges!
What's New?
Each month, there will still be a challenge focus; however, you no longer have to complete a specific challenge in its focused month. Instead, you can choose any challenge to complete during any month (August-February) - as long as you begin on the first week and end on the last day of that month.
📅 Example: We will highlight the Steps Challenge in October, but you want to try the Steps Challenge in August instead of October? Go for it! Just start on August 1st and finish by August 31st.
🎯 You’ll still need to submit your challenge form by the end of the month you started, but now your options are wide open!! Choose what fits your goals best, anytime throughout the year!!
