Best Practices
Nutrition & Physical Activity Best Practices Database
The Nutrition & Physical Activity Best Practices Database provides a means for school divisions to research and share information about successful programs and local efforts to improve the well being of students and promote healthy lifestyles.
Information submitted by school divisions on nutrition and physical activity best practices may include:
- A description of the program or policy
- Advice on implementation
- Assessment of the effectiveness of the program or policy
- Contact information
The database also provides access to annual state and division-level reports on wellness-related fitness testing. For more information on wellness-related fitness testing and physical education standards for Virginia public schools, see the Physical Education Standards of Learning.
Contribute to the Database
School divisions are encouraged by the Board of Education to contribute to the Nutrition & Physical Activity Best Practices Database by accessing the corresponding application through the Single Sign-On for Web Systems portal (SSWS).
