    Wellness Survey for Community MembersWestern Wayne School District recognizes that student wellness and proper nutrition are related to students’ physical well-being, growth, development, and readiness to learn. We believe in a school environment that promotes student wellness, proper nutrition, nutrition education and promotion, and regular physical activity as part of the total learning experience. Federal regulations require local education agencies (LEAs) participating in the National School Lunch Program to complete an assessment of their local school wellness policy at least once every three years and make the results available to the public.  Community members are encouraged to complete a wellness survey at https://forms.gle/6pTYNrdTNQ9t2JeN6. The survey closes on June 30, 2024. If a student or district employee did not receive the Wellness Survey link, please email Dr. Cynthia LaRosa at clarosa@westernwayne.org. Like this:Like Loading...
