Wellness Policy 6690

Students who are active and well-nourished are better learners! Minneapolis Public Schools partners with staff, parents, students, and community to prepare students to make healthy choices for themselves. MPS Wellness Policy 6690 is comprehensive and includes standards for daily physical activity and nutritious foods.

 

Minneapolis Public Schools is developing a new, district-owned Wellness Policy Assessment Tool. This new tool will align with national tools, CDC SHI and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation Healthy Schools Program, along with district policies and practices. The tool will be launched Fall 2022. 

 

Want to get involved? Students, families, and community members are all able to participate in the development, review, update, and implementation of the Wellness Policy. Building leaders are responsible for working with staff, students, and families to develop and implement a school wellness plan.
