Wellness Policy

St. Francis Xavier School is committed to providing a school environment that promotes and protects children’s health, well-being and the ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical activity. The link between nutrition and learning is well-documented. Healthy eating patterns are essential for students to achieve their full academic potential, physical and mental growth, and life-long learning and well-being. The purpose of this policy is to offer students the tools and knowledge necessary to make healthy choices for their body.

Arizona Revised Statute 15-242 restricts the distribution of all food of minimal nutritional value (FMNV) at school for the entire day. All foods and beverages served/sold in the vending machines, snack bars, a la cart, fundraisers and school events is subject to the Arizona Nutritional Standards regardless if they are exempt for the FMNV food list by USDA.

This statue covers the distribution of food on birthdays and at school parities. FMNV should not be brought to school by parents and served at school parties nor should it be served to students on birthdays. Two exemptions to this policy will occur each year as determined by the school faculty.

Suggested healthful food items will be distributed to parents at the beginning of the year.

Every school year, each grade is allowed three days as exceptions to the Wellness policy. This year the following days are exceptions:

  • Christmas
  • End of the Year Party
  • Valentines Day (Grades K-4)
  • Halloween (Grade 5)
  • Pi Day (Grade 6)
  • American Fair/January 23rd (Grade 7)
  • TBA (Grade 8)
