The US Department of Agriculture (USDA), which oversees the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) in public schools, requires a triennial assessment of our Local School Wellness Policy.  The Groton Public Schools’ (GPS) wellness policy (P 6142.101 / Wellness Score Card / Wellness Summary Assessment) can be found on our Policy Website and was developed to support student and staff health and well-being.

Our Wellness Committee, composed of stakeholders in the Groton community, has performed an assessment of our policy, using the WellSAT, which is a quantitative assessment tool developed by the University of Connecticut’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.  The goal of the assessment is to compare Groton’s policy to a model policy, identifying our strengths, our areas for growth and our plans to improve our wellness policy.  

The evaluation examines these components of our policy: 

•    Nutrition Education
•    Standards for USDA Child Nutrition Programs and School Meals
•    Nutrition Standards for Competitive and Other Foods and Beverages
•    Physical Education and Physical Activity
•    Wellness Promotion and Marketing
•    Implementation, Evaluation and Communication
