6 Welcome to Nutrition Tools for Schools! Congratulations on joining the Nutrition Tools for Schools initiative! Whether you re a teacher, parent, school administrator or volunteer, Nutrition Tools for Schools will help you to follow a fourstep process to create a healthy nutrition environment in your school Your local public health unit/department has a mandate to work with schools and will enthusiastically support you throughout the process of creating a healthier school Developed by a team of registered dietitians working in Ontario public health units/departments, Nutrition Tools for Schools builds on the Ontario government s commitment to make schools healthier places for our children With growing concern about serious health problems such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and the increasing rate of childhood obesity, schools have an important role to play in promoting healthy eating among children What is a Healthy School Nutrition Environment? A healthy nutrition environment exists when a school promotes healthy eating through words and actions This means that the school delivers and models consistent and accurate messages about food, nutrition and healthy eating Students are taught consistent, reliable healthy eating lessons and are given plenty of opportunities to put them into practice According to Call to Action: Creating a Healthy School Nutrition Environment 1, there are nine essential elements of a Healthy School Nutrition Environment These include: 9 Food and nutrition policies that support healthy eating Nutrition education for all students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 Nutrition education for teaching staff provided by registered dietitians Healthy, reasonably priced and culturally appropriate food choices in schools (eg, in tuck shops, vending machines and for special food days) Role modelling of healthy eating Student, parent and community education about healthy eating A daily, universal Student Nutrition Program (eg, breakfast or snack program) Safe food handling practices and an allergy-safe environment Nutrition breaks scheduled at appropriate times 1 Ontario Society of Nutrition Professionals in Public Health 2004 Call to Action: Creating a Healthy School Nutrition Environment School Nutrition Workgroup Steering Committee
