Preamble

 

Universal Academy of Florida is committed to the optimal development of every student. We believe that for students to have the opportunity to achieve personal, academic, development, and social success, we need to create positive, safe and health-promoting learning environments at every level, in every setting, throughout the school year.

This policy outlines our approach to ensuring environments and opportunities for all students to practice healthy eating and physical activity behaviors throughout the school days. Specifically, this policy establishes goals and procedures to ensure that:

·         Students have access to healthy foods throughout the school days-both through reimbursable school meals and other foods available throughout the school campus-in accordance with Federal and state nutrition standards

·         Students receive quality nutrition education that helps them develop lifelong healthy eating behaviors.

·         Students have opportunities to be physically active before, during, and after school.

·         Students engaged in nutrition and physically active promotion and other activities and promote student wellness

·         School staff are encouraged and support to practice healthy nutrition and physical activity behaviors in and out of school.

·         The community is engaged in supporting and creating continuity between school and other settings for students and staff to practice lifelong healthy habits

The community and school establish and maintains and infrastructure for management, oversight, implementation, communication about, and monitoring of the policy and established goals and objectives.

 

School Vision

 

K-12 educational institutions have a great responsibility to provide the highest possible quality of life to both students and staff. As such, the K-12 campus shall provide access to a healthy selection of foods and opportunities to be physically active. As these activities become entrenched within the school’s calendar, a great effort shall be made by all parties involved to encourage a healthy lifestyle which will promote an effective educational experience in a positive environment.

This policy outlines the School approach to ensuring environments and opportunities for all students to practice healthy eating and physical activity behaviors throughout the school day while minimizing commercial distractions.  Specifically, this policy establishes goals and procedures to ensure that:

§  Students in the School have access to healthy foods throughout the school day—both through reimbursable school meals and other foods available throughout the school campus—in accordance with Federal and state nutrition standards.

§  Students receive quality nutrition education that helps them develop lifelong healthy eating behaviors.

§  Students have opportunities to be physically active before, during, and after school.

§  Schools engage in nutrition and physical activity promotion and other activities that promote student wellness.

§  School staff are encouraged and supported to practice healthy nutrition and physical activity behaviors in and out of school.

§  The community is engaged in supporting the work of the School in creating continuity between school and other settings for students and staff to practice lifelong healthy habits.

Objectives

Universal Academy of Florida wellness policies are supported by objectives and goals that do not contradict in any shape or form the aforementioned vision. There are four main objectives that constitute the wellness policy:

1. Formation of a School Wellness Council
2. Determination of the quality of foods and beverages sold on school campus
3. Promotion of sound nutritional habits and frequent safe physical activities
4. Development of a rigorous physical education program

 

 

I.             Formation of a School Wellness Council:

Universal Academy of Florida will create a School Wellness Council, also known as a Healthy School Team, that will meet bi-annually to develop, implement, monitor, review, and, as necessary, revise the school nutrition and physical activity policies.  The council also will serve as a resource to the school for implementing those policies.  The School Wellness Council will be led by the head of school and/ or principal and may include a group of individuals representing the school community: parents, students, and representatives of the school food preparers, members of the school board, school administrators, teachers, and health professionals. The School Wellness Council, also known as The Healthy School Team, is responsible for:

 

o   Ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations for competitive food and beverage items sold on the school campus (7 CFR 210.11 and FAC 5P-2.002);

o   Maintaining a school calendar identifying the dates when exempted competitive food fundraisers will occur in accordance with the frequency specified in paragraph (c) of FAC 5P-2.002;

o   And reporting its school’s compliance of the regulations to the director/administrator, the person responsible for ensuring overall compliance with Universal Academy of Florida wellness policy.

 

II.          Evaluation of the quality of foods and beverages sold on school campus

Universal Academy of Florida parents have the option of sending lunch to school with their children or purchasing lunch through the school lunch program.  Students who meet eligibility criteria will be able to receive free lunch. Meals served at UAF will:

• Be appealing and attractive to children.
• Be served in clean and pleasant settings.
• Offer a balanced menu that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables.

• Will provide students access to hand washing or hand sanitizing before they eat meals or snacks by providing hand sanitizers and/or access to the bathroom facilities’ sinks.

 

 

 

Sharing of Foods and Beverages:

The Universal Academy of Florida will discourage students from sharing their foods or beverages with one another during meal or snack times, given concerns about allergies and other restrictions on some children’s diets.

 

Competitive Foods:

·         All foods and beverages sold on the school campus to students outside of reimbursable school meals are considered “competitive foods,” and must comply with the nutrition standards for competitive food as defined and required in 7 CFR 210.11.

o   School campus means, for the purpose of competitive food standards implementation, all areas of the property under the jurisdiction of the school that are accessible to students during the school day.

o   School day means, for the purpose of competitive food standards implementation, the period from the midnight before, to 30 minutes after the end of the official school day.

·         Competitive foods include items sold a la carte in the cafeteria, from vending machines, school stores, snack bars and for in-school fundraisers.

The Food Service Supervisor must approve all food items, beverage and snacks sales offered to the students in the school campus through the school operating hours including fundraisers. An approved list of items will be provided to the staff and all fundraising committees.

 

Fundraising Activities:  To support children’s health and school nutrition-education efforts, school fundraising activities such as bake sales will follow all the Smart Snacks in School Nutrition Standards and also an approved list of all items will be provided.

 

·         Fundraising efforts will be supportive of healthy eating by complying with all applicable regulations and nutrition standards for competitive foods while also emphasizing the sale of nonfood items. 

·         No fundraisers that include the sale of food items will occur until thirty (30) minutes after the conclusion of the last designated meal service period.

Non-Sold Food:  The free Food and Snacks served during the school day or in after-school care or enrichment programs will make a positive contribution to children’s diets and health, with an emphasis on serving fruits and vegetables as the primary snacks and water as the primary beverage.  Schools will assess when to offer snacks based on timing of school meals, children’s nutritional needs, children’s ages, and other considerations.  Teachers may prohibit a student from ingesting snacks that are wholly sugar and have no nutritional value.  Such action shall require a note to the parents of the student.

 

Celebrations: Classes will limit celebrations that involve food during the school day to no more than one party per class per semester.  Each party should include non-sugar items in proportion to that of desserts. If the party only offers snacks and desserts at the time of the party, it should be after their lunch time for the class planning the party.

 

School-Sponsored Events:  Foods and beverages offered or sold at school-sponsored events outside the school day should meet the nutrition standards for meals or for foods and beverages sold individually (see above).If sales of food items do not meet the nutritional guidelines they can only be made available thirty minutes before or after the lunch service.

 

III.  Promotion of sound nutritional habits and frequent safe physical activities

Universal Academy of Florida will review and consider evidence-based strategies and techniques in establishing goals for nutrition promotion and education, physical activity and other school-based activities that promote student wellness to include, at a minimum, a review of Smarter Lunchroom tools and techniques.

Nutrition Education and Promotion:  Universal Academy of Florida aims to teach, encourage, and support healthy eating habits by students. Students will receive a nutritional education and engage in a nutritional promotion that:

• Is offered at each grade level as part of a sequential, comprehensive, standards-based program designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to promote and protect their health.
• Includes enjoyable, developmentally appropriate, and culturally relevant activities, such as cultural food days.

·         Includes annual training for teachers and other staff.

 

Nutrition Education:

• Is part of not only healthy educational classes, but also biweekly classroom instruction in subjects such as math, science, language arts, social studies and elective subjects using a theme based, integrative approach:
  • Emphasizes caloric balance between food intake and energy expenditure (physical activity/exercise.)
  • Teaches media literacy with an emphasis on food marketing.

 

·         Students will understand how food reaches the table and the implications that has for their health and future. 

Integrating Physical Activity into the Classroom Setting:  For students to receive the nationally recommended amount of physical activity and for students to fully embrace regular physical activity as a personal behavior, students need opportunities for physical activity beyond physical education class.

 

As a result, the following are guidelines for integrating different activities in the pre-K through 5^th grade classes:

• Classroom health education will complement physical education by reinforcing the knowledge and self-management skills needed to maintain a physically active lifestyle and to reduce time spent on sedentary activities, such as watching television.

• Opportunities for physical activity will be incorporated into other subject lessons such as morning exercise (yoga, breathing techniques, and stretching) and recess (at least 20 minutes per day).
•  Classroom teachers will provide biweekly short physical activity breaks between lessons or classes, as appropriate.

UAF will attempt to secure funding for a walking track along with a track & field facility around the soccer field for the benefit of the students and the community at large.

 

Communications with Parents:  UAF will support parents’ efforts to provide a healthy diet and daily physical activity for their children. UAF will offer a healthy eating seminar for parents as part of a year-long educational program, send home nutrition information, post nutrition tips on school websites, and provide a nutrient analysis of school menus.  UAF will encourage parents to pack healthy lunches and snacks and to refrain from including beverages and foods that do not meet the above nutritional standards for individual foods and beverages. UAF will provide parents with a list of foods that meet the school’s snack standards and ideas for healthy celebrations/parties, rewards, and fundraising activities.

UAF will provide information about physical education and other school-based physical activity opportunities before, during and after the school day; and support parents’ efforts to provide their children with opportunities to be physically active outside of school. Such support includes sharing information about physical activity and physical education through a website, newsletter, or other take home materials, special events, or physical education homework.

 

Food Marketing in Schools:  School-based marketing will be consistent with nutritional education and healthy promotions. As such, the school will limit food and beverage marketing to the promotion of foods and beverages.

 

·         Schools will only be allowed to market and advertise those foods and beverages that meet or exceed USDA’s Smart Snacks in School nutrition standards.

·         Marketing activities that promote healthful behaviors are encouraged. Examples may include: vending machine covers promoting water, pricing structures that promote healthy options in a la carte lines or vending machines, sales of fruit for fundraisers and coupons for discounted gym memberships.

·         Universal Academy of Florida will foster a cafeteria environment that promotes healthy eating, including the incorporation of fresh, locally grown foods into student meals.

·         Universal Academy of Florida nutrition department’s replacement and purchasing decisions will reflect the marketing guidelines mentioned above.

Other School-Based Activities

Universal Academy of Florida will integrate wellness activities across the entire school setting. These initiatives will include nutrition, physical activity and other wellness components so that all efforts work towards the same set of goals and objectives used to promote student well-being, optimal development and strong educational outcomes.

Evaluating Program Effectiveness:

It shall also be the responsibility of the School Wellness Council under supervision of the Principal and Assistant Principal to ensure effectiveness of the Wellness Policy.  This shall be accomplished by:

• Monitoring and documenting students’ food choices when purchasing a la carte items; and
• Interviewing students and staff to determine their level of understanding of the school’s Wellness Policy and the rationale behind it.

 

Informing the Public:

Universal Academy of Florida will ensure that the wellness policy and most recent triennial assessment are always available to the public. Universal Academy of Florida will also actively notify households on an annual basis about any updates made to the wellness policy and the availability of the triennial assessment results, as well as provide information to the community about the school nutrition environment.

·          Universal Academy of Florida will ensure the most updated version of the wellness policy and triennial assessments are always available on the school website for the public to view.
