Wellness
St. Vincent de Paul School takes pride in supporting the needs of the whole child, and to ensure that all children are safe, supported, engaged, and challenged each school day. Research indicates that initiatives focused on improving aspects of students’ well-being in schools – such as addressing childhood obesity, preventing bullying, supporting students mental health, and restricting use of exclusionary discipline – have been found to be successful in improving student success and academic excellence. We have assessed our wellness policy as part of the USDA requirements. Below are the results of our assessment.
