• EUSD Wellness Policy

    EUSD believes that all students should be educated in learning environments that are safe, drug-free, and conducive to learning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, establishing healthy behaviors during childhood is easier than changing unhealthy behaviors during adulthood. EUSD believes schools play a critical role in promoting beneficial and safe behaviors to help students establish lifelong, healthy behaviors. Improving student health and safety increases students’ capacity to learn, reduces absenteeism, and improves physical fitness and mental alertness. EUSD 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.

    Smart Snacks

    Our district requires that all food and beverages served, offered and sold to students on the school campus outside of the school meal programs during the school day and during the extended school day will, at a minimum, meet Smart Snacks. To determine if the item is compliant, you must enter the nutritional information in the Smart Snack Calculator. You can also use this list of products that are currently sold by the Child Nutrition Department. If you have any questions, please call (661) 952-1229.
