Solana Beach School District

Student Wellness The District recognizes a relationship exists between student health, well-being, and the ability to learn. The overarching goal of the Solana Beach School District Wellness Policy is to promote health and wellness, and to convey positive, consistent messages to all District students in accordance with current law. We want to support our students and enable them to achieve more by learning healthy behaviors that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

Solana Beach School District Wellness Policy (Board Policy 5030, Student Wellness) Solana Beach School District is committed to providing school environments that promote and protect children’s health, well-being, and ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical activity. 

Key Areas of our Wellness Policy Balance is essential for any District Wellness Policy. The Solana Beach School District Wellness Policy focuses on three key areas: nutrition, physical activity and physical education. Other school-based activities are designed to promote student wellness.

Triennial Assessment Local Education Agencies (LEA’s) must conduct a comprehensive assessment of their Local School Wellness Policy (LSWP) a minimum of once every three years. The triennial assessment requirements are: 1) comparison to a model policy; 2) progress with the LSWP goals; and 3) compliance with the policy. LEA’s may choose their methods to meet the three requirements outlined above. LEA’s must also make the results of the triennial assessment available to the public. The most recent triennial assessment was conducted on January 23 and March 21 of 2024. The results of this triennial assessment were used when updating Board Policy 5030 (Student Wellness) with recommendations from the District Wellness Committee on March 21, 2024. The Solana Beach School District Governing Board approved the proposed changes to BP 5030 on June 13, 2024. The District Wellness Committee members included site and district administrators, credentialed and classified staff, Child Development Center staff, district nurse, parents and community members.
