Habits and practices related to physical activity, eating, and tobacco use are influenced by the entire school environment.  That’s why the School Health Index has eight different modules, which correspond to the eight components of a coordinated school health program, shown here.  Click to view larger image.

In response to the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s directive in 2006, the Easton Area School District established a School Health Council as an advisory committee regarding student health issues.  The School Health Council developed Student Wellness Policy No. 246 in accordance with state and federal law.  The School Health Council is always looking for members interested in the health and wellness of students, staff, and community, and invites you to consider joining this broad-based committee of community partners dedicated to school health.  See our Community Partners tab on the EASD Wellness Website. 

Contact EASD Pupil Services office if you are interested in joining!   (610)250-2400 ext 35032.

The Easton Area School District recognizes that student wellness and proper nutrition are related to students’ physical well-being, growth, development and readiness to learn.  The School Board is committed to providing a school environment that promotes student wellness, proper nutrition, nutrition education, and regular physical activity as part of the total learning experience.  In a healthy school environment, students will learn about and participate in positive dietary and lifestyle practices that have been shown to improve student achievement.
