Wellness Policy
FIELD-EPIC developed a Wellness Policy that is focused on improving the overall health and well-being of our students. The policy was adopted in 2020 to inform our students of the various options available to them and further support their wellness goals. These ongoing efforts are reviewed by the School Wellness Committee which includes teachers, students, administrators, mental health and social services staff, along with representatives of the school's nutrition program. Our committee meets twice a year to assess the program and look for ways to better incorporate habits that support a healthy lifestyle for not only our students, but the staff and community at large.
