Healthy Schools

The mission of Jeffco Healthy Schools is to foster school culture, policies, and environments that encourage healthy lifestyle choices and promote positive attitudes for students, families, and staff.

A Healthy School is focused on advancing the physical, social-emotional and mental health of students and staff in schools and upholding the District Wellness Policy. Each Healthy School identifies liaisons to set and monitor health and wellness goals for their school. They participate in Healthy Schools programming and are eligible for Healthy Schools funding to support their goals.
