Student Wellness Council
The FUHSD Wellness Council formed in 2007 as a result of the changes in government regulations around food and beverages available for students on school campuses (for example: legislation to remove carbonated sodas in vending machines). Since that time, a version of this group has focused on concerns related to student sleep deprivation, school-life balance (i.e., extra-curricular activities, homework), wellness (i.e., physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual balance), and student perspectives on various aspects of their school experience, including if and in what ways they were coping with stress experienced inside and outside of the school environment.
In February 2023, the Wellness Council convened in its current form and affirmed the District's value in student wellness including an update to our District Belief Statements. Members of the group serve as representatives of the district by sharing information related to wellness and District efforts and opportunities within their school and community networks. Meeting topics have included review of the CA Healthy Kids Survey data, coordination with the school planning process, and information from Nutrition Services and the Nutrition Services Student Council.
