This can be completed by developing a vision and mission statement based on WSCC principles. Bring these to the superintendent at the district level and the principal of the school for support. The CDC suggests that administrators can provide support for a school health approach by: incorporating health in the district’s or school’s vision and mission statements, including health goals in the school’s improvement plan, appointing someone to oversee school health, allocating resources, modeling healthy behaviors, and regularly communicating the importance of wellness to students, staff, and parents.

Establish a School Health Council or Team

# data[].attributes.body
Establishing a school health team can be completed by convening a school health advisory committee and school health coordinators to oversee a school health program and policies. This committee would include at least one representative from each of the 10 WSCC components. This team would also include an administrator, school health leaders, teachers, parents, and students. All members should understand the goal of a WSCC health program.

As leaders across the country seek to improve student health, there is a growing need for tools to help navigate the complex world of school health policy. This webinar provides an overview of how school health policy works, detailing the hierarchy of state policies. A sort of “school health policy 101,” It addresses questions such as:
•What are the different ways state-level school health policies are adopted?
•What is the difference between legislation, regulations, state board policies and policy guidance? Why does it matter?
•Are all policies the same in terms of implementation and enforcement?

A school health coordinator is an important part of implementing a school health program. A school health coordinator can be full-time or part-time. Data should be collected before implementing a program, so that a school knows what needs to be addressed. School health coordinators oversee all 10 components of the school health program. A school health coordinator can be a school health educator, administrator, physical educator, school nurse, food service coordinator, or community consultant.
*Above is a school health coordinator job posting example.

A plan can be developed by looking at the result of assessment strategies to identify the priority areas for setting goals and objectives that schools should address. Assessments from community assets will also help to identify the needs that should be addressed within the plan. After assessments are conducted, implementation of the plan should be put into place. Actions that can be taken to continue improvement of a school's health plan include: completing the overall scorecard, completing the school health improvement plan, implementing recommendations, and reassessing annually to strive for continuous improvement.
*Above is a resource that could be used to help develop a school health plan.

The focus of a health program can be placed on the students by providing opportunities for the students to be involved in the school and the community. Policies should allow for student development by providing leadership exercises, skill building, the opportunity to build positive relationships with adults, and the opportunity to contribute to their school and community. Student involvement can also be through peer education, peer advocacy, or mentoring programs.

Address Priority Health-Enhancing and Health-Risk Behaviors

# data[].attributes.body
Schools should implement policies and programs to help students reduce health-risk behaviors. There are six categories according to the CDC of priority health-risk behaviors. These behaviors include: behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and STDs, including HIV infection, unhealthy eating, and physical inactivity. Priorities and monitoring programs can be out into place to reduce these risks.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Schools play a critical role in supporting children and adolescents in eating healthy and getting regular physical activity. Schools can provide learning opportunities to reinforce these healthy behaviors by implementing wellness policies and practices and using an effective health education curriculum.
