Kirbyville Wellness
Wellness Program
The primary goals of the Kirbyville School District’s wellness program are to promote student health, reduce student overweight/obesity, facilitate student learning of lifelong healthy habits and increase student achievement. The following procedures will guide the implementation of the district wellness program.
Introduction
The Kirbyville School District has adopted a wellness policy designed to assess and improve the school environment in terms of student health.
In the classroom students are taught to eat healthfully and to be active, but they also need the opportunity to practice those behaviors.
Wellness policies combine education with practice to create healthful school environments and encourage healthy behavior.
This Wellness Page is devoted to the family education component of wellness. Hopefully, as families read and learn from the tips compiled from reliable sources and published about all areas of student health and safety, the “knowing” can turn to “doing” with families choosing the opportunity to practice healthy habits.
