Wellness Committee

Recognizing that students perform their best when they are healthy, and that optimal student performance is necessary for our schools and our students to be successful, the wellness committee strives to help the administration, teachers, and staff promote a healthy school environment that enhances the health and well-being of our students.

Coventry Public Schools has developed a Wellness Policy that is focused on improving the health of students. The policy was developed by our wellness advisory council that includes teachers, parents, students, administrators, Board of Education members, and school nurses. Below are some helpful links regarding our district policy and committee:
