Wellness Policy & Regulations

The Nutrition Program ensures that a BOE-approved Wellness Policy, along with accompanying procedures, is in place.  The School Nutrition Director coordinates and facilitates the Wellness Committee's meetings and ensures that an assessment of the Wellness Policy and Procedures is completed at least once every three years.

Notices of Wellness meetings are posted on this webpage.  If you are interested in joining the Wellness Committee, please email the Director of School Nutrition, Melinda Marshall, at melinda.marshall@socialcircleschools.org or 770-464-4833.

Foods sold in schools during the school day to which students have access may be sold under two conditions:

(1) The food item meets "Smart Snacks in Schools" nutritional standards.  Find out if a food meets standards here:  https://foodplanner.healthiergeneration.org/calculator/; or

(2) The school has sanctioned a waiver for the organization.  Up to 30 waivers for no more than three days each are available for each school each year.  Fundraisers who take advantage of waiver allowances must follow the guidelines on when items may be sold.
