Wellness Promotion Task Force

The District’s Wellness Promotion Task Force
(WPTF) aims to create an educational forum
that allows students, staff, parents, community
partners, and public members to collaborate
successfully to promote healthier lives. With
the District’s ultimate goal of improving student
performance, the direction of the WPTF is to
encourage a proactive approach to holistically
address the health, wellness, and safety of all
school children and staff.
