We have had a number of questions about the Wellness Policy, mandated in 2005 by the Federal government and required for all public schools. This policy affects our vending machines, school meals, wellness education and fitness goals for our students. You can read the policy approved by the Lathrop Board of Education on the District website by clicking on the "Health and Wellness" link. There are other links to reliable sites if you'd like to browse for nutrition and fitness, parenting, drug and alcohol use, smoking cessation, and topics such as Attention Deficit Disorder and overweight risks. We would like to be your "Home-School Connection" for health related information! -Tami RN
