The Local Wellness Policy is a written document that guides a local educational agency’s (LEA) or school district’s efforts to establish a school environment that promotes students’ health, well-being, and ability to learn. The Wellness Policy Committee has been created as an effort to manage and develop our school’s healthy habits.

» A Wellness Committee will be appointed to each school

» The committee may include parents and guardians, students, representatives of the school nutrition program, physical education teachers, or any other interested stakeholder that is aligned with the goals of the policy

» The committee shall meet a minimum of four times per year

This is a great opportunity to help promote and support student health and wellness, and create a positive, safe, and health-promoting learning environment. Please contact mealcounts@accelschools.com for more information.

New to online learning? Worried about preparing for fall? Want to make sure your child can stay on track?  Don’t worry, we have you covered!

 

We have created a plan that is simple to follow no matter what grade your student is in!

• Every day, make sure your student is logged in by 8:00am
• Every day, your student will meet online with their teachers. You will be provided with a schedule the first week of school.
• Not all learning will happen online. There will be time every day to students to practice what they have learned independently offline.
• Your school will give you a schedule to help keep you on track and prepped for success.

You and your student have a login. You have a schedule. You have great teachers.

We just need a couple of things from you to help make this a great year.

• Set up a work area for your student that is quiet and free of distractions.
• Log in to Canvas every day with your observer account to help your student stay on track.
• Take the parent orientation course to teach you about all the great tools that Canvas has to keep you and your student on track.
