Wellness Policy Triennial Assessment

What is the WellSAT and Triennial Assessment?

Every few years, our school district reviews how we’re doing with health and wellness at school. This includes:

• The kinds of food and drinks served in the cafeteria 

• Opportunities for physical activity, like PE and recess 

• Nutrition education and health lessons in class 

• Wellness programs that support both students and staff 

To help with this, we use a tool called the WellSAT. It’s basically a detailed checklist that helps us measure how strong our wellness policies are and how well we’re putting them into action.

Then, we complete what’s called a Triennial Assessment—which just requires us to do a review every three years. The results help us see what’s working well and where we can improve.

This process is important because it helps make sure our schools are creating a healthy environment where students can learn, grow, and feel their best—physically and mentally!
