Wellness Policy

Oman Public High School Wellness Policy

Oman Public High School first implemented a district-wide wellness policy and procedures during the 2014–15 school year, developed with input from parents, students, staff, and community members. This effort aligned with the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, which introduced updated federal nutrition standards for schools. As part of this initiative, new USDA meal pattern standards took effect on July 1, 2014, requiring schools to serve more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat-free milk.

Since then, our district has continued to support and encourage healthy eating. We support student wellness by preparing scratch-made meals and baked items each week, sourcing local foods, and offering colorful salad bars daily. These efforts help introduce students to a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in a fresh, appealing way. As part of our ongoing commitment—and in response to evolving best practices and updated guidance—we are now reviewing and refreshing our wellness policy to ensure it continues to meet the needs of our students and school community.

In The Cafeteria

All meals sold during breakfast and lunch meet these standards. A la carte items sold in high school snack bars will meet the criteria for "competitive foods" under  Highline's wellness policy linked above.

The School Environment

All food and beverages sold on campus during the school day will meet the same standards as food sold in the cafeteria. This includes DECCA sales, student group fundraisers, school stores, vending machines, and any other item sold from midnight until 30 minutes after the end of the school day.*

The Classroom

Food should not be used as a reward in the classroom setting. Food used in a celebrations is strongly encouraged to meet the criteria described in the wellness policy, or to be replaced with non-food celebration activities.  

Resources 

Organizations that wish to sell competitive foods during the school day are strongly encouraged to the use Smart Snacks Calculator to easily determine if their products are acceptable. You may also use the Smart Snack Guide.
