JOHN PAUL II ACADEMY (JPIIA) Wellness Policy
JPIIA is committed to the optimal development of every student. The District believes that for students to have the opportunity to achieve personal, academic, developmental, and social success, we strive to create a positive, safe, and health-promoting learning environment for all of the students in our community.
Research shows that good nutrition, adequate hydration, and physical have a direct correlation with positive student outcomes which includes a positive effect on a student’s academic success.
This policy outlines JPIIA’s approach to ensuring environments and opportunities for all students to practice healthy eating and physical activity behaviors throughout the school day.
Specifically, this policy establishes goals and procedures to promote wellness in the school setting:
I. Students will have access to healthy foods and be in accordance with Federal and State nutrition standards during lunch and when breakfast is provided.
Nutritional information will be age-appropriate and listed in a recipe binder
Lunch menus will be distributed to all families on the last Wednesday of the previous month, listed on the school website (www.jp2a.org), and posted in the hallway near the cafeteria. The next-day menu options are posted by the doors every day during lunch. Daily lunch options are listed as the children enter the line for lunch.

II. Students will have opportunities to be physically active before and during the school day which promotes student wellness.
These will include, a weekly physical education class following Archdiocesan curriculum guidelines (K-8), Minds in Motion (EC- Gr. 4), daily recess (EC-), walking the track prior to school (weather permitting-8), physical activity within the classroom setting (EC-8).

III. School faculty and staff will promote good practices in healthy nutrition.
Lesson plans, “family” activities, snack menus in licensed programs, and
classroom discussion in grades 1 through 8 will reflect the importance of healthy eating/choices.

The JPIIA Food Service Department recognizes the right of all of our customers to file a complaint. We also recognize that there may be many occasions when conflicts may be resolved in-house. We are committed to making every effort to provide reasonable solutions when conflicts arise. We will accomplish this by hearing the complaint; clarifying specific desired needs; identifying any barriers and working through these with the desire to meet a mutually agreeable resolution.
