The Gateway Regional School District is committed to providing a school environment that enhances learning and development of lifelong wellness practices.

To accomplish these goals:

• Child Nutrition Programs comply with federal, state and local requirements.  Child Nutrition Programs are accessible to all children.
• Nutrition education is provided and promoted.
• Patterns of meaningful physical activity connect to students’ lives outside of physical education.
• All school-based activities are consistent with local wellness policy goals.
• All foods and beverages made available on campus (including vending, concessions, a la carte, student stores, parties and fundraising) during the school day are consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
• All foods made available on campus adhere to food safety and security guidelines.
• The school environment is safe, comfortable, pleasing, and allows ample time and space for eating meals.  Food and/or physical activity is not used as a reward or punishment.
